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.
