The State caretaker committee chairman of the main opposition party, Chief Tony Okocha, confirmed this.

Okocha accused supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of the attack on the secretariat.

Okocha wrote: “At the wee hours of Saturday, pro-Fubara civilian soldiers detonated dynamites at our office.

“The second attempt to set it ablaze was foiled as the security at the gate quickly put out the fire.”
