April 07, (THEWILL) – One of the victims of the March 28, 2022 train attack, Sergeant Muhammad Haruna Funtua, is dead, following multiple injuries he sustained from gunshots during the attack on the Kaduna-bound train.
THEWILL gathered that the deceased was shot in the head and chest when the terrorists attacked the train before he and other passengers were rescued by security personnel.
Although he was later conveyed to his hometown in Funtua, Katsina State, for medical treatment, he, however, died on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.
A source, familiar with the development, Mallam Idris, who confirmed the ex-serviceman’s death, said, “He gave a good fight to survive, but unfortunately he did not make it. We pray Allah will grant his soul Aljannah Firdausi.”
THEWILL had reported that about eight passengers onboard the train were killed by the terrorists during the attack, while some others sustained varying degrees of injuries from gunshots, just as many were whisked away by the Terrorists to an unknown destination.
One of those abducted is the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA), Alwan Ali-Hassan, who regained his freedom on Wednesday.
