In Rivers State today, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Dakuku Peterside escaped being assassinated, as men of the underworld disrupted the party’s campaign rally in Okrika Local Government Area of the state.
The governorship candidate was whisked away by security operatives in the midst of the sporadic gunshots few minutes after three explosives went off close to the campaign ground at the Okrika National Secondary School Field.
The earlier bomb scare had resulted into a commotion, leading into a stampede as APC supporters took to their heels to avoid being hit by explosions which were later confirmed to have been fireworks thrown into the scene by suspected mischief makers.
Supporters of the party that were earlier dispersed by the explosions immediately reconvened but were sent packing from the campaign venue by the sporadic gunshots.
