The Supreme Court of Nigeria has confirmed that a fire that broke out on Monday morning was caused by an electrical fault in one of the chambers of the court.
CITYNEWS NIGERIA reports that the fire was quickly extinguished by staff using fire extinguishers on hand, and there were no casualties.
Festus Akande, the Supreme Court’s spokesperson, said that the fire started around 7:30 a.m. and was brought under control within minutes. He added that only a few books and stationery were damaged and that documents pertaining to cases in the court, including the Presidential Election Petition appeal, remain intact.
