Gunmen have kidnapped the embattled Dean of Law Faculty, University of Calabar, Prof Cyril Ndifon.
Gatekeepers News reports that female law students at the university had staged a demonstration against the lecturer, over allegations bordering on sexual harassment among others.
Ndifon was subsequently suspended, and prohibited from entering the school’s premises while a panel was being set up to investigate the allegations against him.
However, the law professor was abducted by gunmen at his Akpabuyo residence in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State, South-South Nigeria.
His son, David Ndifon, while confirming his abduction said the gunmen invaded their residence, fired gunshots sporadically and also pointed guns at members of the family.
David said, “It is true. He was taken away by gunmen. The incident happened between the hours of 11 p.m. on Wednesday and the early hours of Thursday.
“We have been trying our best and making necessary calls to ensure his safe return.”
Ndifon had earlier raised the alarm that he was trailed to church premises by some masked men who also attempted to abduct him.
