Police Foil Attempt To Bomb Fed High Court Port Harcourt For Ruling On Dissolution Of Local Government Chairmen.

Police in Rivers State today foiled an attempt by arsonists to raze the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

There were speculations Thursday morning that two explosions went off at the premises of the court.

But FabmimiBlog investigation through Government House Port Harcourt revealed that there were no explosions as speculated.

“The Court was billed to hear two cases brought before it by the APC local government chairmen in the state against the Rivers State government,” a journalist at Government House said.

“However, the local council chairmen had said earlier on local radio stations today that they had withdrawn their case at the Federal High Court to enable them continue with same case at the Industrial Court, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.” 

FabmimiBlog put a call to a government official who disclosed that the judgement on the Dissolution of Local Government Councils in Rivers State caused an attempted bomb blast but the police detonated the bombs to save the situation.
