The prime suspect in the explosion that rocked Port Harcourt on Tuesday has been found, according to Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Oreh.
The suspect was located at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, formerly known as Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital.
Dr. Oreh said doctors at the hospital alerted the state government last night about a patient who was presented as a road traffic accident victim but had injuries believed to be caused by a blast.
“The suspect was brought to the state government facility in a semi-conscious state but was quickly taken into the theatre for resuscitation,” Oreh stated. She confirmed that the suspect is now in stable condition.
The hospital premises have been fully secured as the Rivers State Government collaborates with the police to resolve the matter. Dr. Oreh addressed journalists at the hospital premises in Old GRA, near the Rivers State Government House, after responding to the doctors’ call last night.
WuzupNigeria earlier reported that one person was killed in the explosion with one other injured during a protest organised by pro-Wike supporters.
