The Rivers State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that supporters of the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara bombed its secretariat in Port Harcourt.
It was learnt that the explosion occurred on Saturday morning, a few hours to the Local Government election in the state.
As seen in a video clip currently circulating on social media, the incident, suspected to be from dynamites, damaged the main gate and the security house of the major opposition party’s secretariat and parts of an adjoining building.
Confirming the explosion, the State caretaker committee chairman of APC in Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha, noted that the secretariat was bombed with dynamite, per LEADERSHIP Newspaper report.
He went on to accuse supporters of Governor Fubara of carrying out the attack on the APC secretariat.
Okocha said: “At the wee hours of Saturday, pro-Fubara civilian soldiers detonated dynamites at our office.
“The second attempt to set it ablaze was foiled as the security at the gate quickly put out the fire.”
