UNICAL Expels Student for Alleged Phone Theft

The University of Calabar has expelled a student from the Department of Public Health over alleged involvement in a phone theft incident.

According to a statement issued on Monday by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Dr. Chukwuka Icha, the decision followed a thorough 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, which investigated an alleged case of phone theft during the 2023/2024 academic session. Senate has approved the recommendation of the SSDC that you be expelled from the university for phone theft,” the statement read.

The university has directed key officials—including the Provost of the College of Medical Sciences, the Head of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, and the Chief Security Officer—to implement the expulsion immediately.

Vice Chancellor Prof. Florence Obi and the university management emphasized their commitment to maintaining discipline and integrity, reiterating a zero-tolerance policy toward misconduct.

Efforts to reach the expelled student for comment were unsuccessful. Attempts to contact Prof. Obi were also unsuccessful, as her phone lines were unreachable at the time of filing this report.
