Similar patterns of celebration have been a common feature for most finalists, especially in Nigeria's public Institutions. In August 2021, a similar incident, though not resulting in death occurred at the Abuja campus of the University of Port Harcourt.

This action among others provoked the Management of the institution to put a stop to all forms of extreme celebrations of this kind.
