Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has taken to the social media to deny an online
report that he escaped gunmen attack on Sunday night. An online tabloid had on
Sunday night claimed that gunmen suspected to be kidnappers laid an ambush for
train passengers who arrived the Rigasa, Kaduna train station from Abuja.
According to the report, Amaechi who was one of the hundreds
of train passengers on hearing the gunshots quickly made a detour by reversing
his convoy in the direction of Rigasa road to escape from the suspected
kidnappers.
However, a few minutes after the report surfaced; Amaechi
tweeted via his Twitter handle @ChibuikeAmaechi to deny the story. “Fake news.
This is completely concocted,” he wrote.
Gunmen have in recent times target the Kaduna/Abuja rail line
with dozen passengers reported to have been kidnapped last month shortly after
arriving from Abuja in the night.
