“Due to delay in distress call, the raging fire caused severe damage to the buildings and a male child of about seven years was recovered from the building.

“The male child suspected dead before the spread of the fire was confined and eventually subdued,” she said.

The director noted that the service also put out another fire at the Leisure Mall on Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, Lagos.
