According to the charge sheet, Professor Ndifon is accused of using his office and position as the Dean of the Faculty of Law, UNICAL, to solicit for nude photographs and videos from one Ms. ABC (not real name), a year 2 diploma student of the university, through WhatsApp chats on his telephone number 0803***. He is also accused of abusing his responsibility for the certification of students as fit in learning and character as a prerequisite for the award of Bachelor’s degree in law and admission into the Nigeria Law School.
The charge sheet stated that the offences are contrary to and punishable under sections 8, 18 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.
