He said:
Further investigations are going on, so we can’t say categorically, but from what we found out, it was an electric fault.

“They deployed the fire extinguishers installed on all the floors of the court.

“They were able to douse the fire even before the court heard from the Fire Service outside the Supreme Court. It didn’t take up to an hour before they put out the fire.

“This incident occurred in a chamber that is equipped with computers and other equipment and also a functional library being used by any Justice that occupies such chamber.

“Only books, stationery, and computer equipment were affected. Even the books are replaceable. We also have an e-library, so the books are still available in soft copies.”

The Supreme Court is the highest court in Nigeria and is responsible for hearing appeals from lower courts and tribunals.
