Nine police deputies in Georgia, U.S have been fired in connection with the death of a 21-year-old Nigerian student, Matthew Ajibade who suffered from bipolar disorder.
Chatham County Sheriff’s spokeswoman, Gena Bilbo, says this is in relation to the case of Matthew Ajibade, who died in an isolation cell on New Year’s Day.
Arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend, Ajibade, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was arrested on January 1. Reports indicate that during his episode, a physical altercation with three deputies resulted, leaving one with a broken nose.
Ajibade was then handcuffed to a restraint chair, where a taser (an electroshock weapon) was used on him, after which he was found unresponsive later.
The firing of the deputies was implemented after investigations by internal affairs and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
According to NBC News and local news station WTOC, Chatham County Sheriff Al St. Lawrence released a statement indicating that Ajibade’s case will lead to policy changes within the department, including security procedures for the use of taser and the use of onsite medical personnel for suspects on medications or suffering from mental health illness.

Just remembered my corner mate in camp who was allowed to redeploy because her doctors report stated that she had bipolar disorder. The babe went there to display madness for them😄😄😄😄. Seriously tho, it's a very serious mental disorder.
