The Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced Cyril Ndifon, the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), to five years in prison for sexual harassment. Justice James Omotosho handed down the sentence on Monday, finding Ndifon guilty on counts one and two. He imposed two-year terms on the first count and five-year terms on the second, to be served concurrently. No option for a fine was presented. Justice Omotosho determined that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) had proven the first two offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. The court, however, acquitted Ndifon's co-defendant, Sunny Anyanwu. Anyanwu, a member of Ndifon's legal team, was released after the court determined that the ICPC failed to establish a link between him and the charges in counts three and four.
