EKO HOT BLOG reports that gunshots amid protests rocked the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat along Woji Road, GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during screening on Wednesday.

According to reports, hundreds of APC members loyal to a former federal lawmaker, Senator Magnus Abe, besieged the premises, alleging hijack of state assembly aspirants screening and ward/state delegate selection.

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.
