**Editor’s Note**
In our February 19 2023 story titled “Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan,” we reported that a middle‑aged woman known as Mama Dada set herself ablaze after being unable to repay a N70,000 loan she allegedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since learned that the microfinance institution involved was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologize to the LAPO Group for incorrectly identifying the bank. The error was unintentional.
