A civil society organization has threatened to drag the former bursar of the University of Calabar Peter Agi to Nigeria’s anti-graft agencies over fraud.
The group, Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET) said it is ready to provide documented evidence of fraud perpetrated by Agi during his tenure as the bursar of the institution.
Speaking in Abuja on Sunday, February 19, the organization’s executive director Joyce Adamu said the centre has commenced full scale forensic investigations into the activities that led to his sack.
Adamu said CESJET will turn over its discoveries to the anti-graft agencies.

Alleging that Agi is living above his legitimate earning, Adamu said the former bursar had accumulated much wealth for a man who graduated from the university in 2004.
Ahe added that he action of the group is in line with the whistle blower policy of the federal government’s anti corruption campaign.
“He is a confused man who has soiled his hands with public funds and afraid of approaching equity since his hands are clean.
He should face the police in Calabar to explain his complicity in the criminal allegations leveled against him before a competent court.
“His recent attempt to blackmail the leadership of University to us is an attempt to divert attention from his unholy acts which set both students and members of the institution on a collision course with Mr. Agi’s ego and penchant for mischief which is known everywhere in the University,” Adamu said.
“If he is confident that his hands are clean he is free to approach equity and should then exercise patience for the outcome. Mr Agi has gone before the National Industrial Court in Uyo and should be patient for the judiciary to do its work,” she added.
She also said Agi has been sponsoring negative propaganda against the university as well as importing cultists and thugs to the school premises to harass staff whom he short changed.

“CESJET notes that Mr Agi could not have embarked on this destructive crusade alone. He is clearly doing the hatchet job for certain vested interests.
“We have traced the connection and we know who his backers are and we also know their motives. We have become aware of meetings at which it was agreed that UNICAL should be sabotaged so that it can be used as an example of how the anti-corruption fight is crippling institutions,” she said.
