The head office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in Lagos has been gutted by fire with many staff feared trapped in the building. 

Some workers, who resumed work at the  WAEC office in Yaba at about 7:30am, were already in their offices before the fire ignited.

The cause of the fire could not be ascertained but some officials attributed it to an electrical surge.

There was panic as some of the workers were led out of the building.

Emergency responders are at the scene as the fire was being put off.

According to a report by Punch, the inferno was caused by power surge in one of the offices, which immediately went wild.

Smoke was earlier seen oozing at the top of the high-rise building as the fire was burning within its office rooms.
