Bombs Hit Bayelsa Political Rally

Two bombs exploded in a southern Nigerian city during a political rally on Wednesday, police said, in the latest in a series of attacks in the country.

Beemo Seiff, a candidate running in Bayelsa state governorship elections, was holding a rally in the state capital Yenegoa when the first explosion happened.

Baylesa state police commissioner Aliyu Musa said no one had been killed but a number of people had been taken to hospital with injuries.

“It was dynamite explosives planted at the venue earlier by people who are still at large. We are investigating,” said Musa. “The aim of the people responsible was to stop the rally.”
