The Rivers State Police Command has confirmed midnight explosion at the secretariat of the Action People’s Party (APP) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
It has also deployed two security vehicles and personnel to the scene in the new GRA, while investigating the matter.
The Rivers State Police Commissioner, Tunji Disu, who spoke on Monday August 13, 2024, advised everyone in the state to be security conscious, while awaiting the report of the probe.
Disu stated this after leading a delegation of officers to inspect the facility in the new GRA of Port Harcourt.

At the gathering, party authorities also expressed their resolve to continue their activities despite what they described as attempts to intimidate the party.
No lives were lost to the explosion which shattered the glass on the window near the impacted area.
APP, which is relatively unknown in Rivers State, gained attention recently after securing and decorating a building in the highbrow area of Port Harcourt to host its secretariat.
There are claims that the party is backed by some members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who are aggrieved with the current handling of the affairs of their party in the state.
The incident, though unfortunate, suggests that there is more to the recent popularity of the party in Rivers State.valoa2000@yahoo.com
