According to Vanguard: There is a heavy shooting in Gokana Local Government Area RAC centre in Rivers State. Some unknown gunmen invaded the centre and started shooting sporadically. Vanguard cannot ascertain the number of casualties as voters and part officials scampered to safety. At the time of this report, security operatives have arrived the scene.

Naij.com also reports: One person has been reported dead in the on-going Rivers rerun election as two other persons have sustain various degrees of injuries. According to pictures emerging on micro blogging social network, Twitter, Tambari Ntoto was shut dead by suspected thugs but the PDP has alleged that the APC is responsible for death of the man who the party claimed to be its ward agent in ward 3, Nonwa in Tai LGA.

The Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Mr Kenneth Kobani has been reportedly been arrested by men of the Nigerian Army. He was allegedly arrested for stalling the distribution of electoral materials a claim the Rivers state government has denied.
