According to reports, several individuals are trapped inside the burning West African Examination Council (WAEC) Yaba, National Office in Lagos.
It has not yet been determined what caused the fire event that occurred early on Wednesday, October 26, 2022.
According to sources, one of the offices experienced a power surge that sent it into a raging conflagration.
The high-rise building’s midsection had caught fire, and those trapped inside could be heard urgently pleading for assistance.
According to an eyewitness, a council employee who was reportedly caught between a few levels was seen trying to jump out a window of the spectacular 12-story structure to avoid being smothered.
As of the time this story was filed, firefighters from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) had arrived at the scene of the event to put out the fire, according to a report heard on the Lagos radio station Bond FM.
No one from the Council could be reached for more information.
