A man identified as Dr. Isaac Ojukwu has died in a fire incident at the Boundary Plaza Hotel in Nyanya, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory.

It was gathered that the incident which occurred on Thursday almost razed down the hotel, but for the intervention of the Federal Fire Service personnel.

It was learnt that the charred remains of Ojukwu had been deposited in the Asokoro General Hospital by the police.

Lodgers in the hotel alleged that the deceased set himself ablaze.

An eyewitness, Ohize Yakubu, who has been living in the hotel apartment since 2013, said neighbours made frantic effort to pull the deceased out of the building but he struggled and ran back into the burning room.
