Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has come out to say that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra did not beat him in Spain.
Yesterday, IPOB claimed that Rotimi was attacked in Madrid as part of a plot aimed at Nigerian politicians.
However, in a recent statement Amaechi stated that the group did not lay a finger on him.
His words, “We read with utter disgust and disdain the sickening propagandist lies credited to one Emma Powerful, who claims to be the spokesperson of IPOB that IPOB members in Madrid, Spain physically assaulted Amaechi. That is not true.”
“We must clarify that in the incident of the attack yesterday (Friday) on the minister in Madrid, where Amaechi was part of the official Nigerian government delegation to the United Nations climate change conference, IPOB members did not ‘beat’, physically assault or cause any bodily harm to the minister.”
“But their violent evil plot failed woefully due to the dexterity of Amaechi to resist them, protect and defend himself, and the prompt intervention of the Spanish police who repelled the motley crowd of misguided attackers.”
