CrossRiverWatch gathered that the some youths and students of the Federal College of Education, Obudu were celebrating an end to their examinations when Mr. Amawu, suspecting criminal activity, made some arrests.

This is said to have led others to proceed to the Police station where a rowdy session led to a police officer discharging his weapon in the air.

It is still unclear how Mr. Amawu whom initial reports say was shot in the head, took a bullet.
