Suspended UNICAL Dean
The suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Calabar, Cyril Ndifon, has said he had a consensual relationship with a diploma graduate identified as TKJ (name withheld based on the order of court to protect her) that
he was accused of sexually harassing.
Ndifon is currently standing trial on amended four counts of alleged sexual harassment and gratification preferred against him by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.
TKJ who is the ICPC’s star witness had during her testimony accused the professor of demanding her virginity and coerced her into performing oral sex for admission into the LLB program at the institution.
However, in a copy of the no-case submission filed by the Prof’s lawyer, Joe Agi (SAN) sighted by our correspondent on Thursday, Ndifon urged the court to discharge and acquit him, adding that the series of chats suggested a consensual relationship between them. In the chats, the professor noted that they conveyed their love, affection, and concern for each other’s safety.
