The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), on Monday, played nude videos of a female diploma student of University of Calabar (UNICAL) in the open court in evidence against Prof Cyril Ndifon, the institution’s suspended Dean of Faculty of Law.
The development occured when the ICPC’s lawyer, Osuobeni Akponimisingha, led Bwaigu Fungo, the 4th prosecution witness (PW4), in evidence in the ongoing trial of Ndifon and his co-defendant, Sunny Anyanwu, before Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court, Abuja.
Ndifon was, on January 25, re-arraigned alongside Anyanwu as 1st and 2nd defendants on an amended four-count charge bordering on alleged sexual harassment and attempt to perverse the cause of justice.
Anyanwu, who is one of the lawyers in the defence, was joined in the amended charge filed on Jan. 22 by the ICPC on allegation that he called one of the prosecution witnesses on her mobile telephone during the pendency of the charge against Ndifon to threatened her.
They were, however, admitted to bail on Friday after a female student, identified as TKJ (not real name) by the court, one of the alleged victims of sexual assault by the don, completed her testimony.
The court had admitted in evidence two mobile phones seized by the anti-corruption commission from Ndifon.
Justice Omotosho admitted the mobile devices; an Oppo Phone and a Tecno Pova Phone with their chargers after they were tendered by Akponimisingha, and the application was not opposed by the defence counsel, Joe Agi, SAN.
The Oppo and Tecno Phones were marked Exhibits N and O by the court.
Meanwhile, Fungo, a forensic and intelligence Analyst with ICPC, while giving his testimony analysed three nude videos obtained from Ndifon’s Oppo Phone.
The PW4 said the videos were extracted from Exhibit N belonging to the professor.
He said they were videos of TKJ as requested by Ndifon.
“The videos as sent by TKJ to the Exhibit N (Oppo Phone owned by Ndifon) is usually sent by the 1st defendant to another subscriber (another phone number),” the witness said.
