Supreme court complex on fire… Presidential election petition evidence materials feared burnt
A portion of the Supreme Court is on fire.
Our correspondent gathered that the fire engulfed a side of the judges’ chamber of the apex court.
Details about the incident are still sketchy as of the time of filling this report.
The spokesperson of the court, Akande Festus, could not be reached as of the time of filling this report.
The spokesperson for the Federal Fire Service, Paul Abraham, asked our correspondent to call him back.
It is not clear the safety of the presidential election petition materials that PDP and Labour party candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi will be using to prosecute their case at the apex court is safe.
It is widely feared that fire might have affected some of them as the picture, causes and extent of damage of the inferno will be unravelled much later.
