Some supporters of All Progressives Congress Party (APC) in Rivers State sustained injuries after an improvised substance suspected to be dynamite exploded at the popular Igboukwu field, venue of a rally in Port Harcourt, on Thursday.
The injured victims, mostly women, were immediately evacuated from the scene of the incident.
The cause of the explosion was sketchy as of press time, but our reporter learnt that there was an altercation between youths of Rumuji community, owners of the Igboukwu field, and APC officials over access to the field.
The youths were said to have prevented the party from holding the rally at the field located at the popular Mile one area of Port Harcourt.
The youths, our reporter learnt, had barricaded and shut the entrance gate of the field, thereby denying the party access to the field.
