The suspended Dean of the Law Faculty at the University of Calabar, UNICAL, Prof Cyril Ndifon, has said that the panel set up by the school authorities to

probe the allegation of sexual harassment against female students lacks the locus and competence to undertake the assignment in its term of assignments.

The professor of law had approached the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, where he sued the Vice Chancellor of UNICAL, Prof. Florence Obi, for character defamation. In the originating summons, the defendants, who include the UNICAL Registrar, and Prof. Dorathy Oluwagbemi-Jacob, were to appear before the court before eight days after service of the summons on them.

Others include checking the records of candidates mobilised to Law School in the past two sessions and establishing if those mobilised met the requirements, the allegation of students being made to pay for matriculation numbers/clearance against Senate approved payments, Direct Entry admission abnormalities, mode of course allocations to lecturers and choice of supervisees and Course Reps by the suspended Dean, as well as, compliance with Senate decisions on faculty meetings.
