A female corper who was killed after a train rammed into
her has been buried at her hometown in Rivers state.

died last Thursday, as a result of injuries sustained after a
train hit her at Ikeja, Lagos has been laid to rest.

She was buried on Sunday, March 11, at her hometown,
Ndoni in Rivers State.

It was gathered that the tragic incident occurred while the
victim, fondly called Nini, was heading home after the
monthly clearance exercise at the Ikeja Local Government
Secretariat.


According to eyewitnesses, the deceased wore headphones
thereby did not hear the train's horn while trying to walk
across the rail track. She was immediately rushed to a
nearby hospital where she later died.

Odili studied Home Economics at the Federal College of
Education,Technical, Omoku, Rivers State and later went to
study Human Kinetics at the University of Port Harcourt.


"Nneka Odili goes home this afternoon at Ndoni in Rivers
State.
May her soul rest in peace. The stories about her
death were all false. The NYSC Lagos office has released
the correct story that lead to her death. She has no
sophisticated phone in life and was not using sophisticated
phone as reported by some news paper.

Please let us
always try to get our news correctly before going to the
public." he wrote.
In a Facebook post, her colleague Abubakar Rukayat,
described Odili'last painful moment.


"We lost one of our own yesterday 8th March 2018 by a train

earpiece wisely, she had earpiece on and didn't notice d
train..... someone tried to push her off then she jumped into
d train unknowingly.when rushed to the hospital all she was
saying was BLOOD OF JESUS until she died .R.i.p Nneka
odili." she wrote.
