Says allegations were lies from the pit of hell

CALABAR – The Dean Faculty of Law, University of Calabar, Professor Cyril Ndifon accused by law students of sexual exploitation has denied all allegations.
Ndifon who spoke to Crossriverwatch said the allegations were fabricated by his distractors from the pit of hell to tarnish his image.
“Since I defeated some people in an election that was keenly contested to emerge as Dean of the faculty, it hasn’t been easy. I had skipped several bobby traps.
“These allegations are baseless and masterminded by my detractor, who had vowed to ensure that my image is dragged to the mud just because I won the faculty elections twice.
“ If you look at the placards you will discover that the placards have one person’s handwriting. Again, how come the protesters know that we were holding a meeting with the Vice Chancellor if it is not the handiwork of an insider”, he said, adding that the meeting with the Vice Chancellor was for the discussion of an important matter concerning the school.
He said that he does not teach students who protested and wonders why they are protesting against his person.
He accused the LAWSAN President, Benedict Otu of cajoling students who were unaware of his ulterior motives.
“From what I am told, LAWSAN President, Benedict Otu, cajoled some students there to go for a meeting with the Vice Chancellor at her officer, only to dish out placards bearing false representations about the Dean, and asked his colleagues to chant slogans that berated my personality”, he said, adding that the method will not work.
“The question is where are the victims of sexual harassment. Can someone harass girls without the ladies coming out to raise the alarm that they were sexually harassed?
“For Christ sake, I don’t teach Year 2b or Year one students, so I don’t know why they have chosen to drag my name to the mud. This is why I said earlier that the allegations were lies, cooked from the pit of hell, just to destroy a reputation that I had spent decades building”, he said.
