The embattled Dean faculty of Law, University of Calabar, Cyril Ndifon, has dragged the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Florence
Obi, to the National Industrial Court in Calabar. Ndifon, who is now on suspension, said he dragged Obi to court to seek redress and clear his name of the alleged sexual harassment. The law professor accused the Vice Chancellor of sponsoring the protest because she wanted him out of his position as dean. Ndifon expressed displeasure over what he described as dragging his image into the mud even when he did nothing wrong.
Also joined in the suit is the university’s registrar, Dorathy Oluwagbemi- Jacob, for herself and on behalf of members of the panel investigating
alleged misconduct brought against him. In an originating summons from the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, the defendants are to, within eight days after service of the summons on them, cause an appearance to be entered in the summons.
