Steph Adamu, a twitter user, has disclosed that Dr. Chinelo Megafu, a young Nigerian medical doctor killed by terrorists in a attack on Kaduna-Abuja train on Monday night, had secured papers to travel abroad to continue her medical practice.
Adamu, who seems to know the late 27-year-old doctor closely, said she was working at St. Gerald’s Hospital in Kaduna but wanted more for herself.
“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???” Adamu tweeted.

Chinelo had taken to her Twitter handle, @nelo_x on Monday night to report that she had been shot by the terrorists while asking for prayers.
“I’m in the train . I have been shot please pray for me,” she had tweeted.
I'm in the train . I have been shot please pray for me.

She, however, later died of her injuries.
Meanwhile, several Twitter users have expressed sadness over her death, while attacking those who mocked her in her tweet.
“Just learnt that Dr Chinelo didn’t make it. This is heartbreaking on so many levels,” wrote Dr. Chinonso Egemba, @aproko_doctor
20.10.2020, @I_Am_Ilemona, wrote, “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.
“This thing hurt me to my marrows!!! You didn’t want to pray for her? Unlook!!! Scroll down!!! Move on!!! Instead you gathered in her mentions and cussed her out. Called her names. Made her spend he last hours being subjected to hate & vitriol because you don’t want your slave master to look bad.
“Nigeria will happen to you people. The story of what happens may not make it to the TL. But Nigeria will happen. And you will remember when you trolled a victim of a terrorist attack. And help will elude you.”
Another user, Dami’ Adenuga, @DAMIADENUGA, said “This is chilling. Chinelo was just consoling someone who lost her mom & in few hours, she’s gone too. Nigeria
Benkingsley Nwashara, @Benking452, “In two weeks time I’m sure this Abuja-Kaduna bound train bandit attack would have completely doused down. The victims forgotten. Everyone to his business, The defenders of this APC regime regained their voices etc.
“Rest in peace dear Chinelo. You don’t deserve this country.”
SamzyPR, @IamSamzyPR, said “Here is Dr Chinelo , One of the Abuja-Kaduna Train Passengers who didn’t make it out Alive from the Attack.
“Rest in Peace, Dr Chinelo. Nigeria happened to you!
