Blast rocks APP secretariat in Rivers

An explosion on Monday rocked the Action People’s Party (APP) secretariat in Rivers State.

The explosion which occurred at about 1:00 am, on Monday destroyed doors, windows and other properties in the building located on Tombia Road in GRA, Port Harcourt.

He said a bomb disposal squad from the command had been deployed to the scene to determine the cause of the explosion and the extent of the damage.

“We have sent a bomb disposal unit to the party office to ascertain what happened, and an investigation has been initiated,” the spokesman added.

However, it is not yet clear whether there were any casualties in the latest blast in the state that has been gripped by political crisis since September last year.

A similar explosion occurred near the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt when a group of people protested the police occupation of a local council secretariat in the state in June.
