Fire outbreak at Supreme Court, suspicious — PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party—PDP, has described the fire incident at the Supreme Court in Abuja on Monday as suspicious.

PDP in a statement made by it’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, expressed concern over the incident, especially, given the heightened public apprehension of a possible arsonist attack with the intent to cripple and frustrate the Supreme Court from effectively discharging its constitutional duties, in respect to the high profile electoral cases including the Presidential Election appeals pending before it.

“Our Party demands an immediate full-scale investigation unraveling into the fire outbreak with the view to unraveling the circumstances or possible sabotage in the incident,” it said.

The opposition party insisted that the outcome of the investigation should be made public, unlike those of previous fire incidents in various government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies “which were characteristically swept under the carpet by the All Progressives Congress—APC administrations.”

However, while calling on the Federal Government to beef up security around the Supreme Court, the PDP also demanded that Nigerians must be assured of the safety of sensitive documents and equipment at the Court, especially at this critical time.
