A man has been hailed as a hero after he was captured on camera clinging to a second-floor balcony while holding a baby in a desperate attempt to escape a burning building in Lagos.
A video shared online shows spectators standing in the street and in a compound, looking up at the man hanging for dear life with the child.
After a while, a ladder was placed against the wall to allow the man climb down with the child.
A fire truck attended the scene and put off the fire.
Though properties were damaged, no life was lost in the fire.
