The University of Calabar has launched an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment leveled against Prof. Cyril Ndifon, the Dean of the Faculty of Law. Students of the institution came forward on social media, accusing Ndifon of sexually assaulting and harassing them.
In a viral video, the students were seen protesting outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office, expressing their concerns through placards bearing messages such as “Ndifon must go for our sanity” and “Law girls are not your bonanza.”
Prof. Ndifon denied the allegations, asserting that the claims were fabricated by individuals harboring grudges against him. He stated that he does not teach the specific year levels mentioned by the protesting students.
University spokesperson Eyo Bassey confirmed that the university management engaged with the students and faculty members involved in the protest.
Bassey noted that the issues extended beyond allegations of sexual misconduct, covering various other concerns as well. The university plans to release an official statement addressing the matter.
