Sporadic gunshots are currently going on in the Airport area of Rivers state capital, Port-Harcourt.
Our correspondent who filed in the report says the gun shots which has continued in the past 45 minutes (as at 10.00pm) is still continue.
However, it is unclear which group is involved in the shooting, just as it is not certain if the exchange of gun fire has anything to do with the kidnap of Freddy Ndigbara, an aide of Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Ndigbara, who is an anchorman for Governor Rotimi Amaechi events inside and outside Government House, Port Harcourt, was whisked away on Sunday by hoodlums in Kaani Community, Khana Local Government Area.
It was gathered that Ndigbara, who is popularly called Freddie by Government House workers, was accosted and forced into a waiting car by the gunmen during a ward rally organised by the All Progressives Congress in the area.
Oblivious of the danger lying ahead of him, the kidnap victim was said to have travelled from Port Harcourt to his home town to be part of the rally.
The hoodlums, according to an eyewitness, had stormed the rally with a red Toyota Highlander sports utility van, made a quick search for their target before forcing him into the car.
It was gathered that the organisers were planning to arrange the canopy for the rally when the kidnappers struck.
