Pandemonium as blast rocks Wike’s family church

Explosion has rocked a church belonging to father of Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt, the capital.

It was learnt that hoodlums numbering about five sneaked into the Christian Universal Church International on 25 Azikiwe Street, Mile 3, Diobu, on Saturday night and detonated the explosives suspected to be dynamite.

It was gathered a significant part of the church was damaged by the explosion, which created panic in the area.

Though no group has so far claimed responsibility for the atrocity, two of the miscreants were said to have been apprehended by a vigilant group and handed over the police.

The operatives of Eagle crack, an outfit of the state police command, Mopol 19 and other security agencies reportedly cordoned off the area.
