The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised the alarm that  the fire incident at the Supreme Court  could be  an 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.


The party has therefore called for an immediate full-scale investigation into the fire outbreak with the view to unraveling the circumstances or possible sabotage in the incident.


The PDP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba insists 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.


While urging 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.
