The presidency, through the
Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has condemned the attack on Minister
of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi in Madrid, Spain.
Amaechi personally announced the
incident on Friday.
NIDCOM chairman, Abike
Dabiri-Erewa, in a statement she signed, commended the prompt intervention of
the Nigerian Mission in Spain and the Spanish police.
She said: “We applaud the prompt
intervention of the Nigerian Mission in Spain as well as the Spanish police who
ensured that the attacks did not escalate any further.
“Information indicates that the
case is being handled by the Spanish Police.
“We appeal to Nigerians to be of
good behavior wherever they find themselves because such incidents ultimately
tarnish the image of the country within the host country, with multiplier
negative effects on Nigerians living in that country, who are law abiding and
well behaved”.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB, have claimed responsibility for the attack.
Earlier in the year, former
deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, was assaulted in Nuremberg Germany by
pro-Biafra activists.
