VOICE AIR MEDIA, News Update

THE Action People’s Party, APP, along the GRA axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital suffered a dynamite explosion on Monday.

The incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Monday precisely around 1am.

The assailants allegedly threw dynamites into the building housing the secretariat, destroying windows and doors, as well as other property of the party.

A party official who chose to remain anonymous said the incident was politically-motivated.

He said “Yes, I’m a member of the APP. I was informed of the attack at about 3 am today

“This is politically-motivated and there is no two ways about it. They know that the APP is a fast-growing political party in the state. We call on the police to investigate this and arrest the culprits.”

However, the Rivers State Police Command has confirmed the explosion at the secretariat of the Action People’s Party (APP) in Port Harcourt, along the GRA axis, on Monday morning.

According to the Command’s spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko, a team of bomb experts has been deployed to the scene to investigate the circumstances surrounding the blast.

She disclosed that the State Police Commissioner and other top officers are currently inspecting the party office to gather firsthand information.
