The Cross River State Police Command on Thursday debunked the alleged abduction of Prof. Cyril Ndifon, who was accused by his students of s*xual harassment.
Ndifon is a Professor of Law and Dean of Faculty of Law, University of Calabar who was suspended in August due to the allegations.
Police spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo, stated in Calabar that Mr Ndifon was not kidnapped but picked up by government security agents.
She noted that the rumoured abduction was aimed at causing panic.
“Police hereby state that Prof. Ndifon was not kidnapped as speculated, but arrested by a government security agency for interrogation.
“Police also advise members of the public to disregard information on social media platforms about the purported abduction as it is subversive.
“It is misleading and a calculated attempt to cause panic or breach of the peace enjoyed in the state,’’ Mrs Ugbo stated.
