UPDATE: FROM CITIZEN REPORTERS AT RUMUOKORO PORTHACOURT:
Elombah.com is yet to verify below!
1. Three people are said to have been confirmed dead so far.
2. The suicide bomber suspected to be a member of the dreaded boko haram sect blew himself right inside a bus that was heading from mile 3 to Rumuokoro. All persons inside the bus has been rushed to the university of Port-harcourt Teaching Hospital. There is no hope for survivor. Its a terrible scene!
3. The entire Rumuokoro area has been condoned off
4. Bullet holes can be seen in the car containing the dead woman at scene of Port Harcourt blast
5. Governor Rotimi Amaechi just arrived the scene this minute. There was an explosion, but no one could give a detail explanation. The bus is still burning. Curiuosly, the body of th bus is still recognisable. That is not the usual signature I've seen from powerful explosions. And again, the bodies of the casualties were bloodied but not mangled and torn to pieces as usual... I pause here for now, until I'll be sure of what am talking about.
More details soon from port-harcourt
