The University of Calabar (UNICAL) on Thursday suspended Prof. Cyril Ndifon, the dean of the faculty of law, accused of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n
His suspension was announced in a letter signed by the university\u2019s registrar, Gabriel Egbe.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The students clad in their white shirts and black skirts carried placards with disturbing inscriptions.<\/p>\n
Some of the inscriptions read: \u201cProfessor Ndifon let the girls with big breasts breathe; stop suffocating us\u201d, \u201cEnough of law school list manipulation\u201d, and \u201cProfessor Ndifon must go for our sanity\u201d.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the authorities of the institution began a probe into the allegations against Ndifon.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease 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,\u201d the letter reads in part.<\/p>\n
The institution said Ndifon\u2019s suspension was due to his handling of a query issued to him by the varsity\u2019s management.
