An explosion has rocked the factional secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, hours to the commencement of the state’s local government poll.
The incident was confirmed by the factional Chairman of the party, Chief Tony Okocha, and a video that has gone viral on social media.
The secretariat, located in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, resulted in a fire.
Someone was seen in the video using water to put out the fire, suspected to have been ignited by dynamites.
The explosion damaged the main gate and security post of the APC secretariat and some parts of the building.

Okocha accused supporters of the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, of being behind the attack.
He said in a short message: “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.”
