UNICAL law professor abducted by gunmen in C’River
From Aniekan Aniekan, Calabar

The suspended Faculty of Law Dean of University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof Cyril Ndifon, has been kidnapped by gunmen.
A family source said gun-trotting men, numbering about eight, stormed the residence of Ndifon, located at Akpabuyo, the outskirts of Calabar about 1am and whisked him away.
According to the source, “Between the hours of 12:00 — 1:00am on Thursday while we were asleep, we heard a bang at our door and a voice shouted we should open the door else they would blow the door open if we did not open at that moment.
“Without dilly-dallying, 10 heavily armed men jumped over the fence into the compound and went straight into Oga room and broke into in and picked him up and dragged him into a waiting van and zoomed off”
When contacted on phone, wife of the abducted professor Mrs. Ndifon said:”It is true that my husband was kidnapped this early morning by heavy armed men and I pray he comes back alive.”
Ndifon is presently facing an investigative panel by the university over alleged violation of university policies.
Last week Ndifon raised the alarm that some masked men trailed him to the church and attempted to whisk him away.
