He said, “I just spoke with a survivor who is a civil servant working with a public Library,She narrated that the terrorists specifically targeted the Business Class coach.They kidnapped some persons including a “white man” & killed those who resisted while she pretended to be dead.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that a former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Malam Ibrahim Wakkala, was among the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers who was shot by terrorists on Monday evening.
With a sad heart we announce a dear departed colleague shot in the Kaduna abuja trian bombing and terrorist attack Dr chinelo who was working in St Gerald Kaduna, had resigned and billed to leave this country on Friday but unfortunately died , she had tweeted about been shot and asked for prayers and had vile remarks hurled at her instead , she must have passed on reading comments like are you dead yet, etc.
Where has the milk of kindness humanity gone , we need to be more sensitive in social spaces as its now more of our emergency helplines.
May Chinelo soul and all that lost their lives in this horrifying incident rest in peace and may God comfort their families.
SaharaReporters learnt that Wakkala was shot on the leg and currently hospitalised.
