Aina Oreoluwa Juliana, 27, is one of the six victims who died in the train accident which happened at the PWD bus stop in Lagos on Thursday, March 9.

Family members of the late corps member expressed deep sorrow following the death of their daughter.

According to BBC Pidgin, the bereaved family said the news of Aina’s death is still “like a dream to them” just as they described her as “a very good person”.

Edujandon.com gathers that the deceased was serving under the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) at the Lagos state Ministry of Education when she met her untimely death.

Recall that a Lagos state government staff bus (BRT bus) carrying 85 passengers collided with a train.

Speaking with BBC Pidgin, Aina’s grandmother, Deaconess PA Aina, said the deceased was her first grandchild and the only person taking care of her.

“She’s my granddaughter indeed, she used to take care of me, it’s only her doing everything in the house. When I was sick, she would buy my drugs, treat me, and stand for me, she didn’t want me to suffer at all. It’s only her, if I call her for anything she would respond, she’s a better child to me,” the bereaved grandmother said.

The deceased’s uncle, Tope Aina, said an autopsy would be carried out to know the real cause of her death as there was no physical injury on her body.
