    Confirming the development, Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ben Uguegbulam, said there was no casualty in the incident. He said the Police had moved in to investigate the incident.

    His words: “At about 1940hrs, the Commissioner of Police detailed Police Explosive Ordinance Department team of the Command to proceed to the office of the VC, RUST in response to a reported incident of suspected explosion in the office of the VC. The team arrived at the scene at about 2000hrs and commenced post blast investigation at the already cordoned scene.
