CLAIM: Morris Monye, a prominent Labour Party member, claimed on X there was a bomb blast near INEC Road in Yenagoa, Bayelsa, involving explosives.
FINDING: We searched for this on credible media platforms covering the election, but none published such. The police PRO said there was indeed an explosion in Kpansia (over a kilometre away) earlier in the week but not at INEC Road as claimed.
VERDICT: Misleading
SOURCES: Google, Bayelsa police
