Lagos Court Catches Fire

Activities at Igbosere Magistrate’s Court
were, yesterday afternoon brought to a halt due to a fire that gutted Court 13 in the building.
The incident occurred shortly after a courtesy visit to the court by the Chief Judge of Lagos State,
Justice Olufunmilayo Atilade.

Attorney General and Commissioner
for Justice, Lagos state, Mr. Ade Ipaye, said other courts in the building
were not affected and that nothing got burnt,
adding that other courts will continue work tomorrow.
“What we need to do is just to clean up the court
and fire fighter’s powder that was used to put
out the fire,” Ipaye said.

The fire was said to have started when an air conditioner in the building sparked fire, which spread to a court cabinet.
