died in police custody after he was kicked and
beaten by police during a booking process where
he was said to be combative and fought back.
And last week, during a trial of the case, shocking
footage taken inside the Georgia jail where
Matthew was booked showed him being kicked and
punched in the head during the fight with police officer.
He was left alone in restraints for an hour-and-a-half
after the violence, at which point he was found dead.
See the photos below; Ajibade was arrested on domestic violence
charges on New Years day 2015 when the
incident happened. In the video, Ajibade could
be seen arguing with the police officers who call
for back off. One officer tried to tackle him to
the ground and Ajibade resisted. As she tried
to taser him, Ajibade grabbed the taser and
that was when another officer attacked him.
The officer is seen in the video kicking the
back of Ajibade's head at which point he stopped
resisting. The police officer then used the taser
on the Nigerian student and then handcuffed him.
He was left there for an hour and a half and when
they went back to check on him, he was found dead. The three former jail employees, who battled with
him are now in trial charged over his death.
They were charged for policy and procedure
violations that prosecutors say contributed to
Ajibade's death.
