The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has disputed the claim by the Indigenous People of Biafra that he was beaten in Madrid, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former governor of Rivers State said the Spanish policemen protected him from the \u201cmisinformed miscreants\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful in a statement made available to Vanguard Friday stated the group beat the minister and that the action is in alliance with the order given by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the statement made available to the media on Saturday, Amaechi denouncement reads in part;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe must clarify that in the incident of the attack yesterday on the Minister in Madrid, where Amaechi was part of the official Nigerian government delegation to the United Nations (UN) climate change conference (COP25), IPOB members did not \u201cbeat\u201d, physically assault or cause any bodily harm to the honourable Minister.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement stated the IPOB members intention was to beat up the minister and inflict harms on him or worse but their evil plot was foiled, thanks to the timely intervention of the Spanish policemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut 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. Even the video circulated online by the attackers confirmed this much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
