Members of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have confirmed attacking the Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi in Spain.
The former Governor of Rivers State disclosed
that he was attacked in Spain by some “misguided Nigerians” while on
national assignment in the European country.
Amaechi tweeted on
Friday ,“Some minutes ago, I was attacked by a few misguided Nigerians while on
national assignment at a climate change event in Madrid, Spain,”.
“They were quickly
repelled by the Spanish police before they could do any harm.”
Confirming the
incident, some IPOB members who shared videos from the scene of the attack
expressed regret on “not getting the Minister”. They however stated
that they will still “get and beat” him. The IPOB members were also
heard shouting “he is a criminal, Ole (thief)” intermittently.
