Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transport has given a strong warning to Aisha Yesufu who said that the minister was attacked onboard Abuja-Kaduna train on Sunday night.

The minister wrote on his official page: “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.”

However, Aisha Yesufu, co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls advocacy group on her Twitter page claimed that Amaechi ran with his convoy after the bandits attacked the train.

She wrote: “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.”
