Claims that there were victims of the fire that started in one of the Supreme Court’s rooms have been rejected by the court.
In a Monday interview with Arise Television, Festus Akande, the Supreme Court’s spokesperson, rejected this accusation.
There was no need in evacuating people because it wasn’t a significant problem, according to Akande. The entire team descended to the ground and entered the area to put out the fire.
Recall that on Monday morning, a portion of the Supreme Court was on fire.

The Supreme Court Public Relations Officer noted 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.
Akande added that the stories making the rounds on social media that there are casualties are “fake news”
According to reports, the cleaners on duty and some of the workers who resumed work early detected the fire and raised the alarm.
The workers were said to have used the fire extinguishers in the building to combat the fire.
Three offices, including that of Justice Mohammed Saulawa, were affected by the fire.
