*One-month-old baby escapes death as fire razes building in Lagos*
A tragedy was averted in the Akowonjo area of Lagos State on Tuesday as residents rescued a one-month-old baby while fire razed a building on Adesina Street. Our correspondents gathered that the mother of the baby was sewing in a shop in front of the bungalow when the fire started around 10 am.
The mother was reported to have said she smelt something burning, but she could not tell what it was until her neighbours raised the alarm. It was gathered that the mother rushed out of the shop, as occupants of buildings on the street also came out. She discovered that it was her house that was on fire.
_PUNCH Metro_ gathered that she rushed inside the house and she discovered that many apartments in the building were already on fire with thick smoke billowing from the building.
