‘I’m in the train. I’ve been shot’, woman’s last tweet on ill-fated Kaduna-bound train

A passenger on the Abuja-bound train on Monday sent out a desperate tweet asking for prayers after she was hit by one of the bullets sprayed by the bandits who attacked the passenger service.

“I’m in the train.  I have been shot please pray for me,” she tweeted at exactly 9:43 pm on Monday.

Desperate tweets from concerned people to find out how she was faring went unanswered afterwards as she apparently grappled to stay alive.

It appeared she lost the battle as people who knew her announced her passing this morning and paid her tributes on her timeline.

Incidentally, 24 hours prior to her own death, she sent out a tweet to console a friend who lost a loved one.

She had tweeted: “I’m so sorry.”

A few hours later she met with her own death while transiting from Abuja to Kaduna on the ill-fated train service.
