Debbie, a female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has been killed following a distraction caused by an earphone.  The deceased who was crushed by a train later gave up the ghost while receiving treatment at a hospital.

Sounds of warning offered by observers had failed to alert Debbie who seemed fully engrossed in her operation of a mobile phone.

"We lost the corps member just now. I heard the neurosurgeon and the orthopaedic doctors said they would conduct further investigations on her. But regrettably we lost her," announces Prince Mohammed Momoh, who is the state coordinator of the NYSC.

It was gathered that the deceased was most likely listening to loud music which prevented her from observing an approaching train.
