The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu has taken responsibility on the attack on Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation in Spain.
The group said they carried out the attack on the orders of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who’s on self imposed exile after running away from his Father’s compound at Afara Ukwu, Umuahia in Abia State.
The Minister of Transport had on Friday claimed that he was attacked by some “misguided” Nigerians in Madrid, Spain while attending a summit on climate change.
The Minister, who had made the disclosure via his Twitter handle, however, added that he was not hurt as the attackers were repelled by the Spanish police.
However, a statement signed by IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful reads: “Yes, IPOB beat Amaechi the Transport Minister base on the standing order given by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to reprimand those politicians who think they have arrived. IPOB Spain precisely Madrid, beat Minister of Transport Chibuike Amaechi in Spain.
“The order was there before the attack on former Deputy Senate President Dr Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany.
” IPOB is warming all those corrupt politicians who brought hardship to the people that we are waiting for them anywhere we meet or see them. We are telling the whole world why they must be dealt with because they are not sincere to the people to the suffering citizens.
“We ask to retrace their steps otherwise IPOB in the diaspora will continue to treat their foolishness anywhere around the world.”
