An uncommon way of protest happened today, August 14, at the Law Faculty of the University of Calabar where scores of female students protested against the dean.
The female law students are accusing Professor Cyril Ndifon, their dean, of sexual assault.
They brandished all kinds of unprintable placards to make their point. “We are tired of sucking dicks,” was boldly scribbled in black ink on a white placard which the students held to express their grievances against Ndifon, according to a video shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
“Prof Ndifon, let the girls with big breasts breathe, stop suffocating us!!!,” reads another placard which a female student waved.
The disgruntled students, majority of whom were female and dressed in the signature white shirts on black skirts, had gathered in front of a storey building presumed to be the law faculty, chanting “go”.
Some staff of the university were seen looking at the students through their windows but it was unclear if the aggrieved students were later addressed.
Ndifon was not a stranger to sexual assault charges as he had previously been suspended by the school management in 2016 for allegedly raping a 20-year-old student in his office, according to a report by Peoples Gazette.
Accompanied by a few of their male counterparts, the female law students said they were not “bonanzas” and that the law faculty was not a “brothel” for Mr Ndifon to keep “grabbing” them.
They insisted that “professor Ndifon must go” for their “sanity.”
