UNICAL suspends Law prof accused of sexual harassment
The University of Calabar (UNICAL) on Thursday suspended Prof. Cyril Ndifon, the dean of the faculty of law, accused of sexual harassment.
His suspension was announced in a letter signed by the university’s registrar, Gabriel Egbe.
Some female students, led by Benedict Otu, the president of the Law Students Association of Nigeria (LAWSAN), on Monday staged a protest, demanding the sack of Ndifon.
The students clad in their white shirts and black skirts carried placards with disturbing inscriptions.

Some of the inscriptions read: “Professor Ndifon let the girls with big breasts breathe; stop suffocating us”, “Enough of law school list manipulation”, and “Professor Ndifon must go for our sanity”.
On Wednesday, the authorities of the institution began a probe into the allegations against Ndifon.
“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,” the letter reads in part.
The institution said Ndifon’s suspension was due to his handling of a query issued to him by the varsity’s management.
