According to @ojozacheus247, the paper held by the deceased reads: “REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FOR MY BABY.
“Please, I need your assistance in your own little way. I didn’t have money and I am deaf, but I want my children to go to school to secure a brighter future.
“I don’t have a job please assist me in sustaining me and my family. MAY ALLAH HELP YOU AS YOU HELP US THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU,” the tweep further disclosed in his tweet.
The Lagos District Manager of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Engr. Jerry Oche, confirmed the sad incident.
