Chinelo Nwando Megafu, a dental surgeon, has died from the
wounds she sustained in the deadly attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train on Monday
night.
The train was on its way from Abuja to Kaduna when it was
attacked by gunmen in Kateri-Rijana area of Kaduna.
The gunmen were said to have blown up the rail track after
which they launched an attack on the passengers.
Several passengers sustained injuries during the attack, but
as of the time of filing this report there is no official number of casualties.
Shortly after the attack, Chinelo posted on her Twitter
handle that she was shot in the train, while calling for prayers from her
followers.
I'm in the train . I have been shot please pray for me.
— Chinelo (@nelo_x) March 28, 2022
Her tweet elicited varied reactions on the microblogging
platform as some Twitter users empathised with her, while others described her
tweet as “fake news”.
Some Twitter users also said she could not have tweeted with
gunshot wounds.
On Tuesday, the Nigerian Twitter space was flooded with
posts saying the doctor has died from the gunshot wounds she sustained from the
attack.
One of Chinelo’s colleagues revealed that the doctor has
died.
The development came 48 hours after gunmen attacked Kaduna
international airport.
Some Twitter reactions:
It's the same people who defend this administration that came out to mock a fellow Nigerian who was shot on the train

People who have no conscience, no empathy
Dr Chinelo is dead now, are you happy?
Are your paymasters pleased with you?
Vile, depraved beings! Scum of the earth pic.twitter.com/kBtD6yo0O8
All Chinelo said was "Pray for me." That is all she said. She was then targeted and subjected to abuse by a group of vile and evil creatures. Cos she was shot and asked for prayers so she could survive.

The attacks on Chinelo as she lay dying don't shock me.

When Buhari Jega was killed in Gyelsu, his "friends" including he-who-cried, justified it.
I knew then that these people aren't human.
One who loses his humanity over politics will defend your murder.
God rest the dead.
Those same set of people that attacked the late Chinelo are the same set that attacked and trolled me when the police brutalized me. These are sycophants who are loyal only to their political gods. They care not for this country and have no conscience whatsoever left in them.

“I'm in the train . I have been shot please pray for me.” was her last tweet 10hours ago and many of you used her to chase clout.

Now she's dead and you're all deleting your hot takes 😡😡😡
Many of you are heartless!!!
Many of you lack empathy!!!
Dr. Chinelo R.I.P
Dr Chinelo was making an honest living, she was working at St Gerald's hospital in Kaduna, she wanted more for herself and processed her papers to leave this hell-hole. She resigned last month to leave the country this Friday then this happened. Nigeria why???💔💔💔
