Chinelo was one of the victims who sustained gunshot injuries.
Shortly after the attack, Chinelo took to her Twitter page at 9:43 pm asking Nigerians to pray for her.
She tweeted: “I’m in the train. I have been shot please pray for me.”
But many people who commented on her post dismissed her claim as some asked her to show proof that she was shot.
