Femi Fani-Kayode

Ex-Nigerian Minister of Aviation and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the fire outbreak at the Supreme Court building in Abuja on Monday, September 25.

Recall that the fire destroyed some parts of the federal institution.

The mysterious fire burnt down the offices of some justices and forced some occupants of the building to scamper for safety.

Speaking on the incident in a chat with Channels TV, the Public Relations Officer for the Court, Festus Akande, said 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 and should be disregarded by the general public.

He, however, stated that the fire incident would not affect the presidential election petition.

Reacting to the incident in a post via his X handle on Monday, Fani-Kayode said the fire outbreak is “ominous” and “sinister”.

He wrote: “The fire outbreak at the Supreme Court this morning is ominous and sinister.”
