Political unrest escalated in Rivers State on Monday with protests and explosions hitting several local government areas.

These incidents are said to be connected to the recent directive issued by Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, which called for the vacating of all 23 local government secretariats and the withdrawal of police officers who had been stationed there since July, according to Punch report.

In a particularly severe incident, the secretariat of Eleme Local Government Area was set ablaze after an explosion, suspected to have been caused by dynamite, destroyed buildings and vehicles.

Meanwhile, in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA, protesters stormed the council headquarters in Omoku, preventing the newly appointed chairman from assuming office.
