 European-American University Disowns Fake Degree Awarded to Musician Rarara

The European-American University has disowned an alleged honorary doctorate degree conferred on Hausa musician, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, describing the award as fraudulent. The ceremony, held at Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, was attended by dignitaries including Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda.


In a statement on its official website, the university said it never authorised the event or conferred any degree on Rarara or others mentioned as recipients. It identified individuals who paraded themselves as its officials, including Musari Audu Isyaku and Idris Aliyu, as having no legal authority to represent the institution.


The university further clarified that its current Vice Chancellor is Professor Luca Scotto di Tella, not Dr Josephine Egbuta, who was dismissed earlier this year. It vowed to involve Nigerian authorities to take action against those behind the fake convocation.
