The University of Calabar, UNICAL, has described as fallacious, a news item making the rounds that the recently arrested alleged kidnapper, John Ewa, popularly called “John Lyon” was a graduate of the institution.
A release issued on Tuesday in Calabar by the Registrar of the Institution, Mr Gabriel Egbe, stated that the university’s management stumbled on the media report with dissatisfaction.
Ewa was arrested in connection with kidnapping activities by the Bayelsa Police Command and was subsequently paraded before the media.

“The said John Ewa was never a student of the university, neither did he graduate from the institution.
“We urge members of the public to discountenance any information linking John Ewa to our prestigious university,” Egbe stated.
