There has been an explosion around the venue of the APC rally Port Harcourt which is being held at Okrika Secondary School.
It is also said that there were firing of gun bullets in the rally vicinity. Party faithfuls have been running for their lives, while it has been said that the Party officials and leaders are yet to arrive the venue.
Shooters were unseen and no one could tell from which direction the gunfire was coming but it appeared to be from all around the venue of the APC rally.
The initial bomb scare had caused a stampede as APC supporters took to their heels to avoid being hit by three separate explosions which were later confirmed to have been fireworks thrown into the scene by suspected mischief makers.
The party supporters that were dispersed by the three separate explosions immediately reconvened only to be sent out of the campaign venue by the sporadic gunshots.
Security agents went down on the ground after drawing their guns in a bid to spot out where the unknown gunmen were hiding to hit them back.
The situation worsened as hoodlums have reportedly taken over the town.
