Prof Cyril Ndifon, the suspended Dean of the Law Faculty at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), has been abducted by unidentified gunmen from his residence in Akpabuyo, a local government area in Cross River State, Punch reports.
This incident follows his suspension, which was related to allegations including sexual harassment, among others.
The professor’s son, David Ndifon, confirmed his abduction to Punch.
He said the gunmen invaded their residence, fired gunshots sporadically and also pointed gun at members of the family.
“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,” David said.
Ndifon had earlier raised the alarm that he was trailed to church premises by some masked men who also attempted to abduct him.
