Nigerian Woman Set Herself Ablaze Over Inability To Repay 70k Lapo Loan In Abeokuta (Watch Video)
A woman sets herself on fire in Abeokuta due to her inability to repay a 70k Lapo loan.
The tragic incident took place in her leased residence in the itoko district of the state’s oke-keesi.
The middle-aged woman was referred to as Mama Dada by residents of her area. Her remains were completely destroyed by the fire, which also destroyed the building as a whole.
Rasheed Aina, a local, claims that the woman killed herself because she couldn’t pay back a debt she obtained from the “LAPO” microfinance bank.
Mr. Babawale, the area’s development association’s secretary, responds to the occurrence as follows:
She owes N70,000 to the “Gbomu le lantern.” She sent her last born to purchase petrol because she was unable to make the payment.
She then released the young kid with grace. She then barricaded herself inside the room, doused herself in gasoline, and set the entire thing on fire, according to him.
At the State General Hospital in Ijaye, Abeokuta, the body has been placed on display.
