Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has described a report that he and other passengers were attacked on Saturday onboard Abuja-Kaduna train.
The report emanated from Aisha Yesufu, the convener of Bring Back Our Girls, who tweeted:
“Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi you should be ashamed of yourself. My sister, my brother and my sister-in-law were in that train. When your convoy scattered and you fled like a newborn mouse whom water has been poured on, it was witnessed!
“Governance is not by lies and propaganda.”
Reacting to the news, Amaechi described it as false via a tweet which reads:
“Fake News. This is completely concocted
“Madam, I was not attacked, I did not see or escape attackers, bandits or kidnappers. I did not “fled like a…” Insults and abuses will not change the fact that I was not attacked or escape attack, in Kaduna last night.
“By the way, we can still be respectful and courteous here.“
