Medical confirmation of the cause of death had also not been established.

Nigerians React With Grief and Outrage

The footage drew thousands of views within hours and provoked a wave of emotionally charged responses from the Nigerian online community.

Many directed frustration at the bystanders visible in the clip, while others called for wider awareness around emergency first aid.

People around her would have performed CPR and she might had the opportunity to live. Let our hustle not take us."

@Badmancash1 said: "They all ignored her even after she fell they couldn't help her up. Wow"

@Mayor_of__benure reacted: "This video is so disturbing. Just look at what happened to this woman. She was desperately trying to reach out for help, calling the women around her, yet they ignored her. Even after she was lying on the ground, they still did nothing. Her family should seriously consider suing the store or demanding answers from the authorities. This is absolutely insane. This is beyond disturbing. God, I'm so pissed off right now."
