Fire has gutted a section of Nigeria’s apex court, Supreme Court located at the Three Arms Zone of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Monday morning.
Wakadaily learnt that offices of three justices, including that of Justice Mohammed Saulawa, were affected by the fire.
The fire which broke out around 7am, caused panic among staff members of the court who fled to safety.
The Public Relations Officer for the Court, Mr Festus Akande, told Channels TV that the cause of the fire was electrical from one of the Chambers of the Justices and was put out with the use of fire extinguishers.
He noted that the stories making the rounds on social media that there are casualties are “fake news”.
However, he didn’t reveal if any documents or files were destroyed by the early morning fire.
