Two weeks ago, Olu was preparing to climb down from the 14th floor of Grenfell Tower on a makeshift rope of tied-together bed sheets, with his daughter on his back.
The system to assess fire safety of high-rise buildings in the UK is "pointless", a leading expert claims.
Fire risk assessments (FRAs) carried out by councils do not consider factors such as external cladding, inspections of which are under way.
It is feared cladding helped spread a blaze that killed at least 79 people at Grenfell Tower, which was not deemed a high-risk during inspections in 2016.
Prof Arnold Dix said the FRA system was simply a "box ticking exercise".
Prof Dix, an independent disaster investigator who looked into the Lakanal House fire, in Camberwell, which saw six people killed in 2009, said the fact Grenfell Tower burnt so fast despite being deemed only a medium risk showed FRAs did not work.

Image source, GoFundMeAssociate Commissioner of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) Tom Milsom has just issued this statement on the progress of the IPCC investigation regarding the death of Edir Frederico Da Costa.
Campaigners claim Mr Da Costa (known by friends as Edson), 25, broke his neck and suffered head and other injuries after he was stopped in a car by Met officers.
Six police officers were injured and four people arrested after a protest over his death took place on Sunday night in Newham, east London.
Quote Message"In the light of continuing public interest in the events leading to the sad death of Edir Frederico Da Costa and with conflicting information circulating in the press and online, I would like to provide an update on the investigation steps taken by IPCC investigators so far. "Following house to house enquiries we have identified a number of independent witnesses and have begun interviewing them. We have also recovered some body worn video which covers the medical attention Mr Da Costa received. "We are seeking any additional footage that may have been taken at the incident. "Officers who were involved with the incident have given their accounts. "Following a preliminary post mortem on 22 June, the pathologist stated that there was no fracture of the neck or spinal injury, no broken collarbone and no bleeding on the brain. "The pathologist removed a number of packages from Mr Da Costa's throat. The contents of those packages will undergo further analysis. "I must stress that the pathologist has not yet identified Mr Da Costa's cause of death and has requested further tests be conducted. "We are examining the actions taken by police during the original detention of Mr Da Costa, including the use of force, as well as the subsequent response in administering medical assistance.

The partner of former EastEnders actress Sian Blake has lost a challenge against his "whole-life" jail sentence for killing her and their two children.
Arthur Simpson-Kent, 49, stabbed Ms Blake to death along with their sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four.
He killed them when he learnt Ms Blake was planning to leave him and take their sons away, the court heard.
Judges upheld a decision that he should receive the most "severe punishment for his horrific crimes" on Tuesday.
