Festus Akande, the Public Relations Officer of the Supreme Court, has provided assurance that the fire incident that occurred on Monday morning will not impact the presidential election petition.
Akande conveyed this message during an interview on Arise TV on Monday.
He affirmed that the fire incident would have no bearing on any aspect of the court proceedings.
Earlier in the day, a section of the Supreme Court complex in the Three-Arm-Zone area of Abuja was engulfed in flames.
The PRO noted, “As a matter of fact, there’s no single connection, and it won’t affect anything in the court.
“This incident occurred in a chamber equipped with a computer and other equipment, as well as a functional library used by any justice occupying such chamber.
Akande added, “The only thing that was affected were the books and computer equipment in the chamber. Even the books are replaceable.
“Also, it has nothing to do with it because it was from an electrical fault, which could happen anywhere, and there are things that happen daily”, he concluded.
