    Fire Outbreak At The Nation’s Apex Court In Abuja

    Published on

    There is currently a fire outbreak at the Supreme Court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

    The cause of the inferno was unknown as of the time of filing this report, but a source at the Federal Fire Service said firefighters were at the scene.

    Witnesses said the fire started in the chambers located on the third floor of the sprawling court complex.

    Supreme Court spokesperson, Festus Akande, while confirming the incident said it was not as serious as speculated on social media platforms.

    “Yes, there was a fire that perhaps resulted from an electrical fault in the section of a justice’s chambers of a justice of the court. But the fire is not as serious as they make it appear on social media. From what is being said on social media, it is as if someone went there and set the whole Supreme Court on fire; it is not so,” he said.

    He however declined to give the identity of the Justice of the Supreme Court whose chambers were gutted by the fire.
