CrossRiverWatch, an online medium, quoted Professor Ndifon denying the allegation, saying that the faculty members holding grudges against him sponsored the protest.
The professor was partly quoted saying:
“For Christ’s sake, I don’t teach Year 2 B or Year one students, so I don’t know why they have chosen to drag my name into the mud. This was why I said earlier that the allegations were lies, cooked from the pit of hell, just to destroy a reputation that I had spent decades building.”
