Report has it that some clash from All Progressive Congress (APC) and People Democratic Party (PDP) members occured at Port Harcourt which resulted to sporadic shootings in the Office of Independent National Electoral Commission,( INEC ) on Monday.
Some PDP supporters had gathered at INEC office early Monday morning to demand that all political parties must be allowed to jointly inspect INEC document. They specifically demanded for joint inspection of the Certified True Copies (CTC) of result sheets used in the February 25 and March 18 elections in Rivers State for the party’s tribunal cases.
They were led by the Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, who was re-elected in the March 18 election and Samuel Nwanosike, the Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA) where they suddenly clashed with APC supporters who accompanied Tonye Cole, the governorship candidate of their party to the INEC office who was trying to gain access to INEC office for scheduled inspection of documents needed by the party to file its case at Election Petition Tribunal. 
The clash didn’t end well as it created a chaotic scene at INEC office while some of the PDP protesters said Tonye Cole must be arrested for allegedly disrupting their peaceful protest.
On his part, Nwanosike accused INEC and the Police of being biased in favour of APC and Cole. He claimed INEC allowed APC exclusive access to Certified True Copies of Election materials against other parties.On Cole’s part, APC has credible information that PDP members planned to engage in continuous protests around INEC office to prevent opposition parties and their lawyers from having access to relevant documents until the time set for filing petitions at election tribunal elapsed.“They claimed that they have won freely and fairly. But we are saying no, that the election was rigged and we want to prove it at the tribunal and they are saying we should not”.
Some persons sustained injuries, vehicles vandalized during the clash between the party supporters.Some portions of Port Harcourt-Aba expressway, especially around INEC axis were blocked by security agencies causing heavy traffic.
