The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has suspended Prof. Cyril Ndifon, the Dean of the Faculty of Law, due to suspected violations of the institution’s rules.
This decision follows recent protests by law students who accused the dean of sexual harassment. Interestingly, Prof. Ndifon faced a similar suspension in 2015 over the same issue, but managed to clear his name through a legal process.

The suspension, effective from August 17, 2023, was communicated through a letter from the University Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Egbe. The action was taken after the Vice Chancellor expressed dissatisfaction with the dean’s response to a query from the University Management.
