Megafu Chinelo, A young doctor who made a tweet last night during the attack on the Abuja Kaduna train is now dead.
Chinelo, a dental surgeon at St Geralds hospital in Kaduna was one of the 900 passengers on board when the terrorists attacked the train.
Friends say, Chinelo recently resigned and was to leave the country this Friday.
“To think she’d resigned from her duty post at the hospital to travel abroad this week to escape this hell hole and this happened!!!! Nigeria, this breakfast you’re serving us is too much. We’re tired!!!” a friend of hers who claims anonymity disclosed.
Recall that bandits blew up train rails and attacked the 6pm train heading to Kaduna from Abuja. Many are feared kidnapped, while others sustained injury during the attack.
It was reported that the train derailed when the explosives planted on the rail track went off.
The gunmen also reportedly opened fire on the train and several passengers sustained injuries.
Chinelo was one of the victims who sustained gunshot injuries. Shortly after the attack, Chinelo took to her Twitter page at 9:43 pm asking Nigerians to pray for her.
She tweeted: “I’m in the train. I have been shot please pray for me.”
