Tension heightens between Rivers APC protesters, police

Policemen fired gunshots at INEC office on Aba Road, Port
Harcourt, capital of Rivers State, around on Sunday as the
protest against Saturday’s elections in the state began to
heightened.
The incident happened after APC supporters surrounded an
SUV in front of the Commission’s office, believed to have the
PDP governorship candidate in the state, Nyesom Wike, inside
it.
After appealing in vain to the APC supporters to clear the way,
the SUV forced its way through the angry mob, who stoned
and hit it the various objects.
They attacked several vehicles moving in and out of the area
carrying electoral materials.
More tanks and heavily-armed security officers have been
moved into the area.
Tension remains high in the area.
INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, just announced that the
commission’s office in Port Harcourt had been set on fire.
