In the early hours of Saturday, an explosion struck the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, causing significant damage to the building and surrounding property.
The blast, suspected to have been caused by dynamite, destroyed the entrance gate, shattered windows, and wrecked doors and other facilities within the secretariat located along Aba Road.

This marks the second time the APC secretariat, led by Chief Tony Okocha, has been targeted in such an attack this year.
The explosion occurred just as local government elections were set to take place in the state, with the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission confirming on Friday that all sensitive election materials had been distributed to the various local government areas.
A video of the aftermath circulating on social media showed workers inspecting the scene to assess the extent of the destruction.
