TKJ (not real name), a student sexually harassed by the suspended Dean of Faculty of Law, University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Cyril Ndifon, has broken into tears while recalling how she was allegedly forced to do a ‘blow job’ for the man.
A blow job, according to a dictionary meaning, is an act of oral sex performed on a man.
The student had, on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, how she was allegedly forced to do a ‘blow job’ and sent her nude videos to Ndifon.
She disclosed that the suspended Dean came to the front of her hostel in a tinted glass car and asked her to join him.
However, TKJ, who is the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission’s star witness, on Wednesday, February 7, said she did not include in her two statements to the ICPC the allegations that Ndifon forced her to give him a “blow job” in his car because she was ashamed about the incident.
The student, who is the ICPC’s 2nd prosecution witness, said this while being cross-examined by Ndifon’s counsel, Joe Agi (SAN), before the presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho.
The ICPC had earlier revealed that TKJ wrote two extra-judicial statements dated November 9, 2023, and November 10, 2023, at the office of the anti-corruption commission in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
However, during cross-examination on Wednesday, Agi asked TKJ: “You told this court that the 1st defendant forced you to do a blow job?”
“Yes, in his car. He bent my neck and gave me N3000 after for treatment,” she responded.

“I put it to you that, that is not true,” the lawyer said, but TKJ insisted it was true.
Agi also put the question to TKJ that the allegation that Ndifon tried to make her do blow job with him in his office was also untrue but she said it was true.
The lawyer then asked her if she made statements to ICPC on those two occasions and she answered in the affirmative.
“In those two different days, you never told ICPC in your statements that the 1st defendant did blow job with you; you just manufactured that later?” he asked.
Responding, TKJ said: “I did not tell them in my statements because I was ashamed about it.”
She had also told the court that when Ndifon forcefully bent her neck to give him a blow job, she cried and later told her roommates in the hostel.
But when the lawyer asked her if she put the experience about informing her roommates in the statements, the witness admitted she did not.
She equally admitted that she did not put it in her statement that Ndifon gave her N3000 for treatment after the blow job experience.

TKJ said she only gave a summary of what transpired between Ndifon and her, besides feeling ashamed of the whole scenario.
When Agi asked her how many people were with her when she was making the statements, the student said about three people.
Reacting, the lawyer said it couldn’t have been shame that made her not to write details of her experience since there were more people in the courtroom than where she wrote the statements, “that you just don’t want to tell the truth”.
But TKJ, who insisted it was a shame, broke into tears behind the shield.
Agi further asked her if she wrote in her statements the allegation that Ndifon made her to do a nude video of herself putting her two fingers in her vargina inside toilet and sent to him.
“I did not tell the ICPC about the nude video I did inside the toilet where I put my two fingers in my vargina because I only did a summary of it in my statement,” she said.
The student said she did all the chats and others with Ndifon because of the admission he promised her and because of her safety after the sexual harassment.
TKJ, who disagreed with the lawyer that the ICPC guided her on what to write, said: “The ICPC did not guide me on what to write.”
Justice Omotosho thereafter adjourned until February 9 to rule on the bail application of Ndifon.
