“I cannot say if it was bomb explosion yet. We have commenced investigation. The damage wasn’t that much.”

She added that details would be made public after the conclusion of investigation.

In June, an explosion occurred near the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt, as some political leaders protested police occupation of the 23 LGA secretariats.
