A section of the Supreme Court complex in the Three Arms Zone, Abuja, has been gutted by fire on Monday morning.
JomogNews reports that the cause of the fire on the nation’s apex court in Abuja is unknown as of the time of filing this report.
The fire, which started around 7am, caused panic among staff members of the court who scampered to safety.
Though no human casualty was recorded, however, it was not clear whether sensitive documents and files were destroyed by the early morning fire.
The offices of three Justices have allegedly been burnt down, including that of Justice Mohammed Saulawa before it was eventually put off.
NAN reports that the Director of Press and Information of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Dr Festus Akande, confirmed the fire.
“The fire has since been put out. There was no casualty,” Akande said.
Meanwhile, JomogNews also learnt that the Federal Fire Service operatives have put out the fire, and everything has returned to normal.
