UNICAL PROFESSOR  NDIFON BAGS 5-YEAR JAIL TERM FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT


The federal high court sitting in Abuja  has convicted and sentenced the suspended dean of the faculty of law, university of Calabar, Unical, Prof. Cyril Ndifon to five years imprisonment for sexually harassing his female students. 


The trial judge,  justice James Omotosho, found the university don guilty on two out of a four-count charge the independent corrupt practices and other related offences commission, ICPC, preferred him. 

However, the court discharged and acquitted his co-defendant and lawyer, Sunny Anyanwu, who was accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice in the matter. 


The court was of the view that the evidence the prosecution adduced before it, did not nail the 2nd defendant to the commission of any offence. 

While justice omotosho Sentenced Prof. Ndifon to two years in prison in one of the counts of the charge that was sustained by the court, he was handed a five-year jail term on another count.


The court held that both sentences would run concurrently. The ICPC had alleged that Ndifon, while serving as the dean of the faculty of law at Unical, harassed his female students by demanding explicit photos from them.
