FILE: Picture from a different blast scene

Three Improvised Explosive Devices have gone off close to the rally ground of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okrika, Rivers State.

This has caused a stampede, as people gathering for the APC rally scampered for safety.

The party supporters, in their numbers, had gathered and were waiting for the leaders of the party in the state to arrive the venue of the rally.

Loud sounds were heard in quick successions, causing panic among those who gathered for the rally.

So far, there are no reports of any injuries or casualties and it is not clear if the rally would eventually get underway.

More Details Soon…..
