Based on real events, CITATION tells the story of Moremi (Temi Otedola), a bright student pursuing her master's degree at a prestigious university in Nigeria. This semester, Moremi's class will have charismatic new professor Lucien N'Dyare (Jimmy Jean-Louis) as lecturer and thesis advisor. Moremi quickly catches N'Dyare's attention, and his eye as well. He makes several unwanted sexual advances toward Moremi, who rejects him but doesn't tell anyone about the incidents. Then one night N'Dyare tries to rape Moremi. Moremi manages to run away, and brings charges against N'Dyare to the university's disciplinary body. Doing so costs her dearly. She's shunned by friends, and she and her boyfriend break up over it. The university hearing may come down to N'Dyare's word (who tells very different versions of events) against Moremi's. Unless she can find some proof that she's telling the truth...
