A young medical doctor, Chinelo Megafu, who was among the victims of yesterday’s terrorists’ attack on the Kaduna-bound train, is dead.
The dentist was one of the over 900 passengers on board when the terrorists attacked the train.
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.”
But many people who commented on her post dismissed her claim as some asked her to show proof that she was shot.
Some labeled her tweet as fake news, while others called her a clout chaser.
Chinelo is dead but her last tweet continues to generate conversations among Nigerians on Twitter.
Friends say, Chinelo, a dental surgeon at St Geralds hospital in Kaduna, 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.
