LASU Library On Fire

 

 

(LASU) Lagos State University suffered another raze of shock when the Library caught fire on Wednesday with some students and workers trapped in it.

The incident, which occurred around 11a.m., threw the institution into pandemonium as people ran for safety.
The intervention of  the state fire service  saved the lives of the trapped students and teachers.
Mrs Kunmi Adebayo, a member of staff  said  nobody knew the cause of the fire incident.
She further said,“I work at the administration department but when I saw people running, I joined them.
One has to act fast when it comes to fire disaster,” she said.


A student, who identified himself as Jare,  said many students had left the campus in protest against the hike in tuition fees adding that it was possible that some of the aggrieved students burned the library as a form of protest.
 It was  gathered that the fire was caused by electricity surge, which had since been rectified by the university maintenance unit.
