The hospital’s security has been beefed up, with three police patrol vans stationed at strategic locations, including the emergency ward where the suspect is being treated. The police are investigating the incident and have appealed to the public for information.

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has alleged that the opposition sponsored the suspected bomber to justify calls for a state of emergency in the state. The governor claimed that the dynamite was detonated at Hotel Presidential, where federal lawmakers were lodged, to create a pretext for a state of emergency.

The police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the incident and have urged anyone with information to come forward. The suspect’s condition remains unknown, and the police continue to monitor the situation closely.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
