According an eyewitness and a student of the institution, Chris Darlington Ifesi,
the young man was just happy that he has become a fresh graduate and as
the norm with most students, his friends decided to do something
naughty by getting water from a gutter and bathing him with it but the
prank turned horrific as the fresh graduate lost his life in the process.
This is how Ifesi captured the incident on his Facebook wall:
"Tragedy
struck yesterday as a fresh graduate of the Imo State University, took
his last breathe as students poured him water in jubilation of final
year completion.
What seem to be
jubilation turned into a gathering of sorrow when the victim was running
away from a number of students who pursued after him to pour dirty
water on him.
In that quest to dodge the
water being poured on him, he fell into a soak away pit and got
drowned. The dirty water from the pit, however, is partially passing a
light current as the pit is dug beside their transformer where
earth-wire is buried."

"Pouring
of water has been banned in schools but some students would not obey
this. Many students in this light unaccepted celebration of final papers
have been injured, poured acid and some other dangerous liquids while
some other persons have gone to the great beyond via this.
I
think every final year student should learn from this as well as those
who dedicate them to pouring water on university finalists."
