Mientei Ayawei, son of a former Bayelsa State Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Chief Nimibofa Ayawei, and his girlfriend, identified only as Happiness, have been burnt to death in an apartment fire.

The source, who did not want to be mentioned because he was not authorised to comment on the incident told PUNCH that the high voltage, which allegedly sparked fire through electric extension, started by 4 am on that day.
He said Mientei, 25, had just finished his degree programme in Human Resources Management, from a university in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
It was learnt that firefighters arrived the scene after some hours but only saved other buildings in the neighbourhood, including a filling station, Dannielo Pulo, from being consumed.
