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

According to Channels, this has caused a stampede at the venue of the rally, as people gathering for the rally scampered for safety.
A reporter from the TV station who is presently on ground at the venue was seen on Live TV lying down while giving situation reports.

The station was actually billed to beam the rally live. It is not clear while the reporter was lying on the floor but reports say there were sporadic shootings after the explosions went off.
Unknown gunmen were said o have stormed the venue after the explosion ans 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.
