Supreme Court Fire: Nigerian Man Wins N150k Bet for Predicting Fire Incident at Apex Court

• In the wee hours of Monday, September 25, a fire incident broke out at Nigeria's apex court, the Supreme Court
• While no casualty was recorded, it was reported that the fire affected the offices of three apex court judges
• A Nigerian man who foresaw the fire outbreak has smiled to the bank with N150k and explained how it happened

A Nigerian man, Thomas Bright, has won N150k after he predicted the fire incident that transpired at the Supreme Court on Monday.

At 6 a.m., a section of the apex court was gutted by fire but was said to have been put out, with no casualty recorded.

Taking to X, Thomas appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for making him the money as he accused the former Lagos State governor of being the brain behind the fire outbreak.

The young man, whose bio reads that he is a Peter Obi supporter, said he had told a friend before now that Tinubu would burn down any court before the final judgment but his friend did not believe him. He wrote:

"Thank you BAT. You just made me won 150k this morning.

"I told my friend that you will burn down any of the Courts before the final judgement but my friend said it will not happen.

"Today you just prove me right at last.

"You people are always predictable."

It is, however, noteworthy that the Spokesperson of the Supreme Court, Festus Akande, blamed the fire incident on an electrical fault that emanated from one of the justices' chambers.

It was gathered that the fire affected the office of the three apex court judges. The cause of the fire outbreak is yet to be confirmed, but the Arise TV anchor, Reuben Abati, said:

"We don't know. The breaking news says it's an attack, so it must be investigated even on the surface of it. It's disturbing."
