“But either in batches or outrightly, there is always a set date for repayment that you must meet but if you default…you will live to blame yourself.” The secretary of the Community Development Association in the area, Ade Babawale, confirmed that the deceased was owing the bank. He said, “she is owing the ‘Gbomu le lantern’ the sum of N70,000, because she was unable to meet up with the payment she then sent her last born to buy fuel and also use style to discharge the small boy and she locks herself up inside the room and wet everywhere with petrol including herself and set the whole place on fire.”When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he had not been briefed about the incident.
Oyeyemi, however, promised to get back after he must have been briefed but, had not got back as of the time of filing this report.All rights reserved.

Unbelievable
