Spanish police have started investigation into the attack on Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, in Madrid Spain by people suspected to be members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made this known in a statement she issued.
“Information indicates that the case is being handled by the Spanish Police,” she said.
Dabiri-Erewa condemned the attack on Amaechi who was on a national assignment in Madrid, Spain.
In the statement, Dabiri-Erewa applauded 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.
She appealed to Nigerians to be of good behaviour as ambassadors of the country.
“We appeal to Nigerians to be of good behaviour 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,” she said.
