The fire, which followed an explosion, raised concerns about potential violence just 48 hours after the local government elections.
When Chairman Brain Gokpa, along with councilors and supporters, arrived at the secretariat, they found some buildings within the complex engulfed in flames on Monday.
As of press time, the police had not yet issued an official statement about the incident.
The fire occurred a day after the swearing-in of Action Peoples Party (APP) winners from the controversial Rivers local government elections.
Meanwhile, a dispute broke out in the Ahoada Local Government Area on Monday after the police reopened the council secretariats following an order from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
