The incident occurred in the evening during the
inauguration of Asaritoru local government wing of Save Rivers Movement, at the
Kalabari National College, KNC, premises.
When contacted for comment, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, said he was not aware of the
development.
It will be recalled that last week, explosives
were hurled at the state deputy governor’s wing of Government House, Port
Harcourt, a development that reportedly shattered the windscreen of some
vehicles.
Barely twenty four hours after the incident at
the deputy governor’s office, another explosion was reported at the official
car park of Justice C. Wali in Ahoada East Local Government Area.
This incident came barely 48 hours after Justice
Wali delivered a verdict stopping a member of the state House of Assembly,
Evans Bipi, from parading as speaker of the state House of Assembly.
Yesterday’s twin explosion at the KNC premises
did not abort the inauguration of the Save Rivers Movement in the local
government as it still went on smoothly after the panic generated by the
incident had died down.
State Chairman of the SRM, Mr. Charles Ahonu,
said the body would align with the All Progressives Congress, APC, describing
it as the only party that could lead the state out of the woods.
He said they were in the local government to
inaugurate the wing of the SRM, adding that they were convinced in the ability
of the APC to take the state to greater heights.
Interim chairman of the state chapter of the
APC, Davies Ikanya, said Kalabari people had dumped the PDP for the APC in the
state.
Ikanya, who was chairman of the event, said the APC had also swept all parts of the state.
