The eywitness further stated, “I was looking at her from where I stood and saw her with an ear piece plugged into her ears which made her unable to hear the sound of the incoming train. Many passers-by tried to pull her out of the rail line but she ran towards the moving train which crushed parts of her body”.
She was later rushed to the hospital for medical attention by some good Nigerians around.
