Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Coalition for Human Rights Advocacy in Africa, CHRADA, has condemned the recent attack on the office of the Action People\u2019s Party, APP, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.<\/p>\n

An explosion, caused by the detonation of an improvised explosive device, IED, rocked the Rivers APP secretariat on Monday.<\/p>\n

The incident caused significant damage to the building.<\/p>\n

Reacting, the Coalition, in a statement signed by its convener, Dr. Joyce Anderson Idakwo, alleged that the incident was a \u201cclear attempt to disrupt the local government election process and undermine democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

CHRADA expressed worries over the use of explosives and bombs against political opponents in the state.<\/p>\n

According to them, the action demonstrates a disregard for human life and a \u201ccallous willingness to use violence to achieve political goals\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for human life and a callous willingness to use violence to achieve political goals,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of explosives and bombs against opponents is a serious violation of human rights and international law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe centre is deeply concerned about the escalating violence in Rivers State and its impact on the civilian population.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen and children are disproportionately affected by these attacks, and we must protect them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the Nigerian government to take immediate action to protect its citizens and hold perpetrators accountable,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The lingering political crisis in Rivers State has led to several attacks by yet-to-be-identified persons.<\/p>\n

Supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and those of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, have several times clashed during political functions.<\/p>\n
