A massive inferno that broke out at a Quranic school near the Liberian capital Monrovia has claimed 30 lives -- mostly children -- including two teachers, state authorities said on Wednesday.

Emergency services briefed President George Weah that 28 people died overnight,his spokesman Solo Kelgbeh told AFP, as the president visited the site in Paynesville, on the outskirts of the capital.

Reports indicate the fire, which trigger has yet to be identified, started while the children were asleep.

“My prayers go out to the families of the children that died last night in Paynesville City as a result of a deadly fire that engulfed their school building,” Weah tweeted.

“This is a tough time for the families of the victims and all of Liberia.”

Relatives on Wednesday gathered outside the yellow and green entrance to the building, which housed a school and boarding school, whose sheet metal roof was burnt.
