Countering Organized Crime in Nigeria

A wing of the Supreme Court complex situated at the Three-Arm-Zone, Abuja, was engulfed by fire on Monday morning.


Reporters learned that the fire, which started around 7am, caused panic among staff members of the court who scampered to safety.

Though no human casualty was recorded, however, it was not clear whether sensitive documents and files were destroyed by the early morning fire.

A source told the press that the fire was probably caused by an electrical malfunction in one of the offices within the administrative wing of the court.

The source confirmed that three offices, including that of Justice Mohammed Saulawa, were touched by the fire before it was eventually put off.

Meanwhile, the court is yet to issue a formal statement on the incident.
