All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat along Woji Road, GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, was on Wednesday rocked by gunshots and protest during party screening.
Findings show that hundreds of Senator Magnus Abe’s loyalists thronged the venue and claiming that the screening exercise has been hijacked and compromised .
The aggrieved party members said they arrived at the secretariat around 6:00 am only to meet the gate under lock and key.
But, trouble started when some of the youths attempted to force open the gates which prompted the policemen stationed inside the party secretariat to shoot into the air.
The shooting caused pandemonium in the area as journalists covering the protesters and newsmen covering the event scampered for safety.
Recall that the APC screening exercise into various positions ahead of the 2023 general elections has begun nationwide.
