The University of Calabar has expelled a student from the Department of Public Health over alleged involvement in phone theft.
In a statement released on Monday and signed by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Dr Chukwuka Icha, the university said the decision followed a detailed investigation by the Senate Students Disciplinary Committee (SSDC), which found the student guilty.
“The Vice Chancellor has received the report of the Senate Students Disciplinary Committee (SSDC), which investigated an alleged case of phone theft during the 2023/2024 academic session,” the statement read.
It continued: “The Senate has approved the recommendation of the SSDC that you be expelled from the university for phone theft.”
The university has since directed relevant authorities, including the Provost of the College of Medical Sciences, the Head of Department of Medicine and Surgery, and the Chief Security Officer, to ensure the expulsion is enforced without delay.
Vice Chancellor Professor Florence Obi and the university’s management have maintained their firm stance on discipline, insisting that acts of misconduct will not be tolerated.
