Like Ekweremadu, Nigerians attack Amaechi in Spain

The Minister of Transportation, and former governor of Rivers State, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, was attacked by some persons described as “misguided Nigerians” in Spain on Friday.

He was attacked at an event on climate change held in Madrid, Spain.



The minister disclosed this on his Twitter handle, @ChibuikeAmaechi.

He said Spanish policemen succeeded in stopping his attackers before they could hurt him.




He did not disclose the identities of his attackers.

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.
