Police Officer's Son Dies In Lagos Barracks Fire Incident
A tragic incident occurred at Falamo Police Barracks in Ikoyi, Lagos, as the 15-year-old son of a senior police officer attached to the Lagos Police Command lost his life during a fire outbreak. 

According to the command’s Police Public Relations Officers, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Ikoyi received information about the incident on Tuesday at about 9:00 pm.

The fire reportedly gutted Room 24, Block 1 of ASP Godspower David, attached to Bar Beach Police Division, Victoria Island, Lagos. Hundeyin explained that emergency responders were mobilised to the scene for the rescue operation, and the teams successfully put out the fire. 

However, during the evacuation of the debris, the corpse of Emmanuel Godspower David, aged 15 years and the son of the officer, was found.

The corpse was evacuated to a public morgue for autopsy, while the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in Lagos, CP Idowu Owohunwa, visited the bereaved officer at Falomo Police Barracks with the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Mr Isa Grema, to express their condolences.

Owohunwa, who was received by the officer and his wife, expressed sadness about the human casualty from the fire outbreak. He prayed that God should comfort the bereaved family and donate N500,000 to take care of their immediate expenses.
