Rivers locates suspected bomber as police probe incident

The Rivers state government said it has found a suspect who was severely injured while trying to detonate an explosive device near the state-owned Presidential Hotel during a protest in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, June 25.

The state government had initiated an investigation to unravel the identity of the suspect, who sources said was injured and was immediately rushed to an undisclosed hospital. Following the alert, Oreh on Tuesday night said the unidentified suspect was rushed to the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital for treatment by his friends, who later left the premises.

“The individual was taken to the theatre for immediate resuscitation because as of the time he was brought in he was semi-conscious. “And so in this manner we just seek to inform the public that this is the update following the earlier incident of today in Port Harcourt.” Disu, however, did not link the incident to the protesters, who were in support of the police barricade of the 23 local government council secretariats.
