Explosions rock APC Port Harcourt rally, three injured

Double explosions reportedly rocked a rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held on Thursday at the Rumu-Woji Play Ground popularly called Ojukwu Field, in Port Harcourt.

Three people were said to have been injured in the explosions.

Publicity Secretary of the APC, Rivers state, Darlington Nwauju, who shared photos of two females affected said, “It is another black day in the annals of democracy where all sorts of underhand strategies are being deployed to frustrate opposition political parties in Rivers State.

“The National Security Adviser, General Monguno, the DG of DSS and IGP Usman Alkali must zero in on Rivers State and stamp out politically sponsored violence. No single opposition politician is safe. We have also intercepted credible intelligence of plans to attack key opposition politicians in Rivers state.”

The Rivers State Police Command was yet to respond to the incident as of Thursday afternoon when this report was sent in.
