JUST-IN (Rivers): Explosion Rocks APP Secretariat Amid Gov Fubara’s Detection

A dynamite explosion rocked the secretariat of the Action People’s Party along the GRA axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital on Monday morning.

It was gathered that the incident occurred in the wee hours of Monday precisely around 1am.

The assailants allegedly threw substances believed to be dynamite into the building housing the secretariat shattering windows and doors, as well as destroying other property of the party.

This came amidst speculations that the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, plans to move with his supporters to the APP following the alleged hijack of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state by his predecessor and estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike.

Our correspondent who visited the scene reports that the ceiling and fittings in the building were also destroyed while some party officials were sighted discussing the development.

A party official who refused to disclose his identity to our reporter said the incident was politically-motivated.

He stated, “Yes, I’m a member of the APP. I was informed of the attack at about 3 am today.

“This is politically-motivated and there is no two ways about it. They know that the APP is a fast-growing political party in the state. We call on the police to investigate this and arrest the culprits.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said she was not yet aware of the incident but promised to find out and get back to our correspondent.
