The rally ground of the All Progressives Congress in Okrika, Rivers State has been invaded by gunmen.
Shortly after the hiccups occasioned by three explosions that rocked an area close to the rally ground, the campaign started as scheduled.
But, as it got underway, the gunmen stormed the rally ground, firing shots sporadically.
This forced party members and leaders to run for safety.
Even, the APC governorship candidate in Rivers, Dakuku Peterside, ran for his dear life.
The Police however came to the rescue, but party members and leaders had left the rally ground.
As at the time of filling this report, The Eagle Online could not ascertain the number of casualties.
