ICPC Witness Reveals Inappropriate Relationship Between UNICAL Dean and Student

An investigator from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Lucy Ogechi, disclosed on Thursday during a court session that a diploma student, whose identity was withheld, was involved in an inappropriate relationship with the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Calabar, Cyril Ndifon.

Ogechi's revelation came after the defense counsel, Joe Agi (SAN), suggested the existence of a romantic affair between the student and Ndifon. Ogechi clarified that the student's expression of love for Ndifon was a tactic to secure admission into the university.

Additionally, Ogechi disclosed that Ndifon instructed the student to spy on the university panel investigating him by providing her with the Zoom link password and briefing him on the panel's proceedings.

The trial judge, James Omotoso, adjourned the hearing until February 5 to consider the bail application of the defendants and hear the testimony of the ICPC's star witness. Ndifon and Sunny Anyanwu are facing an amended four-count charge related to alleged sexual harassment and an attempt to pervert the course of justice, with Anyanwu accused of threatening a prosecution witness.
