The death of Dr. Megafu Nwando Chinelo, who boarded the attacked Kaduna-bound train with hundreds of passengers, has elicited flurry of reactions.
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.”

“Just went through last night’s comments under Dr Chinelo’s tweet, and all I can say is some people are the devil them self.”

Mr Macaroni wrote;
“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.”
