At least five persons have been reportedly hospitalized following fire outbreak in Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School, located at Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island.
Eye witness say the incident caused pandemonium among the students causing people to scamper for their own safety.
The fire is said to have started at 10pm and allegedly caused by an electrical fault from the first floor of the five-story building hostel accommodating about 1,500 law graduates on the Lagos campus.
