The internal security operatives of the University of Calabar has arrested one Godswill Johnson for fake employment racketeering in the institution.

The Acting Chief Security Officer of the University, retired SP Usani Okon-Etim, presented the suspect before the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Florence Obi in Calabar, said Johnson collected N400,000 from one retired Assistant Commissioner of Police on the pretence of making him the Chief Security Officer of UNICAL.

“He collected the first installment of N400,000 from one retired Assistant Commissioner of Police and then collected another N350,000 from another person and he offered her a fake employment letter,” Okon-Etim stated.

“The person saw the employment letter and noticed that it is at variance with other employment letters that people have collected, so she knew it was fake. They now traced the fake syndicate to the University and reported the matter to us; we mounted surveillance and we were able to pick him up. We recovered the fake appointment letter.
