The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Wednesday, blamed individuals pushing for emergency rule in the state for the failed explosion in the state capital.
A loud blast was heard near the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt during a protest march by some political leaders in support of the police occupation of the 23 local council secretariats in the state.
Rivers State has been rocked by crisis over the refusal of local council chairmen to vacate their offices after the expiration of their tenure.
