It said, “Dear passengers, due to unforeseen circumstances, train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route has been temporarily suspended. Further communication would be given in due course.”

However, in the early hours of Tuesday, her close associates said she died from gunshot wounds.

Similarly, some Twitter users have called on people to donate blood for those shot during the incident.
