The National School Field, venue of an All Progressives Congress, APC, rally set to hold in Okrika Local Government area of Rivers State has been attacked by unknown armed men.

DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen used explosives to destroy the stage, canopies, chairs and other arrangements made for the rally.

The APC governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside was billed to be in Okrika as part of his campaign trail in the state.

In a distress call put to media houses in Port Harcourt, Director of Media and Publicity of Dakuku’s Greater Together Campaign Organization, Ibim Semenitari said the armed men struck as early as 3am this morning, leaving the venue in wreckage.

Semenitari said the armed men shot sporadically to scare everyone working at the APC venue away before blowing the explosives.

“It was burnt and not gutted by fire. At about 3:45am, armed men whom we don’t know came and started shooting. The boys working at the venue had to run for their lives. At about 4am, they started throwing dynamites.

“As I speak, they have destroyed the stage, the sound system; they destroyed the canopies. They have destroyed everything.

“This is worrisome for us. The APC has continued to conduct itself in the most peaceful manner. The APC is resolved not to fight, the APC is resolved not to use violence because we believe that an election is supposed to be peaceful and credible”.

She expressed uncertainty on the continuation of the campaign in Okrika.

Just like you, those guys that invaded the venue are jobless PDP touts. I don't know why any sane fellow would wake up as early as 3am and decide to be angry without provocation. Anyway, their Governorship Candidate is a thug so I expect his followers to mimic him!

Just like how jobless illiterates will just wake up and decide to be angry without provocation and attack a sitting president during his campaign. Anyway, their Presidential Candidate is also an illiterates who claims he's gone to school yet has no certificates to show for it, so I expect his followers to mimic him!
