An explosion has reportedly rocked the Rivers State secretariat of All Progressives Congress, APC, headed by the factional caretaker committee chairman, Chief Tony Okocha.
It was reported that suspected arsonists, in the early hours of Saturday, detonated explosives at the state secretariat of the main opposition political party in Rivers.
A short video clip making the rounds on social media platforms indicated that the incident which is suspected to be from dynamites, damaged the main gate and the security post of the APC secretariat and some parts of the building.
Chief Tony Okocha in a short message accused supporters of the Rivers state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for the attack on the secretariat.
“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,” he said.
Okocha-led APC had announced its withdrawal from today’s local government election citing legal reasons.
