The Rivers State Government, through its Commissioner for Health, Adaeze Oreh, says the prime suspect in the explosion that rocked Port Harcourt, the state capital on Tuesday, has been found.
The commissioner said the suspect was found at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, formerly Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital (BMH).
She reported that doctors alerted the state government last night when a patient, with injuries suspected to be from a blast but presented as a road traffic accident victim, arrived.
The suspect, brought in a semi-conscious state, was quickly taken into the theater for resuscitation and is now in stable condition.
The hospital premises have been fully secured, as the Rivers State Government is working with the police to resolve the matter.
The commissioner spoke to journalists at the hospital premises in Old GRA, near the Rivers State Government House, after responding to the call by the doctors last night.
