Suspected arsonists have reportedly detonated explosives at the Rivers State secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Port Harcourt.

According to DAILY POST, the incident occurred on Saturday morning, a few hours to the Local Government election in the state.

According to video clips circulating on social media, the incident, suspected to be from dynamites, damaged the main gate and the security house of the APC secretariat, as well as parts of an adjoining building.

The State caretaker committee chairman of the main opposition party, Chief Tony Okocha, confirmed this to LEADERSHIP.

Okocha accused supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of the attack on the secretariat.

Okocha wrote: “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.”
