Festus Akande, the Supreme Court’s public relations officer, has stated that the presidential election petition won’t be impacted by the fire that broke out there.

On Monday morning, reports of the unexpected occurrence made headlines, and it was learned that three justices’ offices were impacted.

Akande disclosed that the fire was started by an electrical problem when making an appearance on Channels TV shortly after word of it went viral.

According to him, it occurred in a chamber equipped with a computer and other equipment, as well as a functional library used by the justice using that chamber.

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.

“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”, Akanda stated.
