An early inferno has engulfed the Nnamdi Azikiwe University College of Health Sciences in Nnewi, Nigeria’s Southeast.
It was not clear what started the inferno and when, exactly. Residents of the academic community reportedly woke up to it.
Emergency services have mobilised to the scene to contain the raging inferno.
As of the time this report was filed, school authorities are still investigating the situation and have not yet determined the extent of the fire damage.

Also sacked by the president is UNIZIK’s registrar, Rosemary Ifoema Nwokike.
