Supreme Court Fire Incident Suspicious, Says PDP, Demands Full-Scale Investigation

PDP, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, said it is worried over the fire outbreak, especially given heightened public apprehension of possible arsonist attack with the intent to cripple and frustrate the Supreme Court from effectively discharging its constitutional duties, especially with regard to high profile electoral cases, including the presidential election appeals pending before it.

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

September 25, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised alarm over the fire incident at the Supreme Court, describing it as suspicious.

The PDP insists that the outcome of the investigation should be made public, saying it should not be like those of previous fire incidents in various government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), which were characteristically swept under the carpet by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administrations.

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