Again, UNICAL suspends Prof. Cyril Ndifon accused of s+x¥ally hara§§ing female Law students
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Florence Obi, has suspended and relieved Prof. Cyril Ndifon of his position as Dean of the Faculty of Law.
He has also been barred from entering the university’s campus except he is invited by the panel to be constituted to investigate various allegations of s+x¥al a§§ault against female students.
The suspension notice was conveyed in a letter dated August 17, 2023, and signed by the registrar of the university, Gabriel Egbe. The letter said he was suspended for alleged violation of the provisions of the extant laws and policies of the institution. Prof Ndifon, the first Prof of law from the state, was first suspended in 2015 by the school over a similar allegation of s+x¥ally a§§aulting female students.
A few days ago, female law students carried placards and protested on campus calling for the removal of Ndifon. Some of the placards had inscriptions such as, “We are tired of l#cking d#cks for marks”, and “Ndifon Must Go!” “We’re tired of s¥cking d#cks for marks”, “Law Girls Are Not Bonanza”, Prof. Ndifon Must Stop Gr@bbing our B¥m B¥ms”, etc.
The letter said his suspension came as the Vice Chancellor was dissatisfied with his response to a query over the allegations. Part of the letter read, “Please refer to our letter Ref UC/REG/DISC.45A dated August 14, 2023, on your alleged violation of the provisions of the extant laws and policies of the University and your response to the said letter which was dated 16th August 2023.
