A friend of the late Dr Chinelo Megafu who identifies on Twitter as Steph Adamu said in a tearful note posted to Twitter that the doctor had planned to leave Nigeria for greener pastures.
Megafu, a dental surgeon, graduated from the University of Port Harcourt in 2016.
She died from injuries sustained during the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train late Monday.
“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,” said Adamu on Tuesday.
“She resigned last month to leave the country this Friday then this happened. Nigeria why???”
Megafu’s last tweet was to inform the public she had been shot.
“I’m on the train. I have been shot. Please pray for me,” she said.
