An explosion has destroyed the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Okrika LGA, Rivers state.
The explosion, which reportedly occurred around 3:14 a.m on Sunday, January 10, destroyed the secretariat building.
The chairman of the party in the local government, Christian Asifamaka, told journalists that unknown persons used dynamite to attack the party’s office in Abam-Ama in the early hours of the day.
Asifamaka said: “The damage was quite extensive with the chairman’s office being the worst hit.”
He stated that the latest attack was a deliberate ploy by its opponents to draw the party into a battle that would destabilise the local government.
Meanwhile, the police in Rivers has confirmed the incident. The police spokesperson in the state, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, told pressmen that the command had received the report of the dynamite attack.
Muhammad said: “I am aware of the incident at Okrika, but the information at my disposal is sketchy.”
