The Spanish police on Friday foiled attack on Nigeria’s minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, by some Nigerians in Madrid, the capital of Spain.
Mr Amaechi disclosed the attack on his Twitter handle @ChibuikeAmaechi, saying it occurred on Friday while in the city for a climate change event.
The former governor said the irate Nigerian youth were overpowered by the Spanish police before they could harm him.
“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,” he tweeted.
