Amawu’s death was as a result of “accidental discharge” says the Police Public Relations, DSP Irene Ugbo.

Eyewitness accounts say students of the Federal College of Education Obudu were protesting on Tuesday evening which led the police to arrest some of them. However, other students took their protest to the police station where the late Amawu was the DPO.

He was said to have shoot into the air repeatedly to disperse the protesting students before the bullet of one of the guns he held accidentally discharged and hit him.
