A fire broke out on Monday morning at the Supreme Court building in Nigeria, located in the Three Arms Zone of the capital, Abuja. The building houses the offices of several justices.

The cause of the fire is not yet clear, but eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud noise from the building before the fire started.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze before it could spread further.

The Director of Press for the Supreme Court stated that the fire was caused by a "normal electrical problem." Dr. Festus Akande, Director of Press and Information, also confirmed that some documents were burned in the incident.

He mentioned that the fire affected the chamber of one of the Supreme Court Justices but did not provide details about the specific judge who was affected.
