The Lagos State Fire Service has disclosed that a 6-year-old girl has been burnt to death in a church located at Egbeda this morning. The Director of the service, Mr Rasak Fadipe, said that the incident occurred at about 2 a.m. at Faith Revival Church.

Fadipe said that the inferno affected the boys’ quarters of the church while a vigil was going on at the main auditorium.

“We met the fire raging when we arrived. It was after the fire was put out that we discovered the little girl’s burnt body in one of the rooms.
“The church authority was yet to ascertain the cause of the fire. We finally put out the fire at about 5 a. m,” he said.
