The Registrar of the University of Calabar, Mr. Gabriel O. Egbe has decried the continuous defamation of his character by one Santus Elemi who has been using his name to defraud unsuspecting members of the Public

A petition by the Registrar to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 6 and the Commissioner of Police, Nigerian Police Force, Calabar made available to the Public Relations Unit of the institution indicates that the said Mr. Sanctus Elemi (M) is currently under investigation by law enforcement agencies.

Mr Gabriel Egbe  stated that sometime in the past, that the said Sanctus Elemi was arrested and detained at the Area Command, Akim, where he issued a false statement that prompted  the Police Command to invite him as Registrar to clear himself.

According to the Mr Egbe, in the wake of responding to the invitation at the Police Command,  the suspect seeing him, started apologizing, confessing that someone egged him to mention the Registrar’s  name to free himself.

The University Scribe  stated that, when  Mr. Sanctus apologized and begged him for forgiveness, he thought that the fraudulent activities had come to an end.

According to the Registrar,  few days ago, he got informed again  that the said Mr. Sanctus Elemi who was arrested by the University Security Unit and handed over to the Department of State Services ( DSS) is still using his name and office for his fraudulent activities.

Mr Gabriel Egbe  stated  that he would no longer fold his hands and watch his name and office being dragged in the mud.

He is in the petition appealing for intervention from the Law Enforcement Agencies to protect his hard-earned name and reputation, including that of the office he holds, noting that, it is high time, Mr. Sanctus Elemi and his collaborators be made to face the law.
