A bouncer in a nightclub, Sunday Braimoh, and his wife, Morenikeji, on Tuesday were reportedly burnt to death in a fire incident at Olodi Apapa, Lagos.

The fire started after a tenant spilled petrol on the floor.

The couple became trapped in their room, when the iron door to their room jammed.

Efforts to rescue them were abortive as the remains of the couple were recovered by officials of the Lagos State Fire Service.

A co-tenant simply identified as Ifeanyi explained that the fire started at about 5p.m.
