“At least, five people were seriously injured while one elderly woman who is a cleaner had her toe dislocated,” Segun told Vanguard.

However, the fire was put out by hostel security officials who switched off the main power supply immediately before the arrival of state fire service some minutes later.

The unidentified injured students are currently receiving medical attention at the clinic.

The Director of Lagos State Fire Service and Rescue, Margret Adeseye, through, Public Affairs Officer, Amodu Shuabu, confirming the incident said it was a minor one and no casualty recorded.
