Three improvised explosive devices was reported to have gone off close to the rally ground of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okrika, Rivers State.
Unknown gunmen were said to have stormed the venue after the explosion and started shooting sporadically. The governorship candidate of the APC in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, was whisked away by security operatives as the gunshots rented the air at the campaign ground at the Okrika National Secondary School Field.
The party supporters, in their numbers, had gathered at the venue and were waiting for the leaders of the party in the state to arrive the venue of the rally.
The explosion had caused an abrupt end to the proposed rally, but party chieftains decided to go on with the rally before the gunshots incident finally brough the rally to an end.
Below is a video of a Channels TV journalist, lying down to give the live reports at the venue of the rally while the pandemonium was ongoing
