The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, was on Friday attacked in Madrid, Spain, where he is attending a Climate Change meeting on behalf of the federal government.
The minister who disclosed the attack himself blamed those he called “some misguided Nigerians.”
Disclosing this via his twitter handle, @ChibuikeAmaechi, the former governor of Rivers State, however, said the attackers were fought-off by the Spanish police before they could do any harm.
Amaechi who tweeted that he was fine, equally thanked Nigerians for their prayers and support.
His words, “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. I am fine. I was not hurt. Thanks for your support & prayers.”
