“The fire brigade is on ground. Everyone is trying their best. The fire is heavy and sprouting from the right side of the Building,” read an update on the university Facebook page a few minutes to 2am of September 20.
“The fire flames are heavy coming through right side of the roof which has sunk in. We all need to pray for the Ivory Tower.”
