Revelations by Document Women, a organisation, has revealed how allegedly habitual it has become for the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the University of Calabar, Prof Cyril Ndifon to sexually abuse his female students.
According to Document Women, the Law teacher had reportedly on 29th August 2015 assaulted a student in his office.
“It was alleged that the student, a minor, was retaking a test in his office,” when the incident happened.
“Ndifon was indicted and suspended in September 2015 after a petition was filed to the office of the Vice Chancellor. 21st September 2016: Ndifon tried to file a counter-suit at the National Industrial Court in Calabar; however, it was dismissed.
2nd March 2017: Ndifon also attempted to stop the ICPC from investigating and prosecuting him for abuse of office before the Federal High Court, Calabar. This was dismissed in court as well.”
However, it was revealed that in February 2021, the University, under the leadership of Florence Obi, reinstated Ndifon as professor. He was said to have celebrated his return to school by circulating photos of his arrival at the University premises. Students of the faculty had on Monday staged a protest in front of the faculty, calling for the removal of the Dean. They had displayed a number of placards to register their displeasure and reveal what he does to female students.
