LABOUR PARTY CHIEFTAIN SUES UNN OVER REFUSAL TO RELEASE PETER OBI’S ACADEMIC RECORDS. (PHOTO).


 A chieftain of the Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi, has dragged the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), to court over its alleged refusal to release details of the academic records of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).


In a suit filed on September 9 at the Federal High Court in Abuja by his lawyer, Anderson Asemota, Arabambi stated that he had requested a certified true copy of Obi’s certificate number D000198 in respect of a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy issued in 1984. The request was made in line with the Freedom of Information Act, but the institution turned it down.


Court documents made available on Saturday, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), show that the applicant, a former factional spokesperson for the Labour Party, named the Vice-Chancellor of UNN and the university itself as the first and second respondents.


Arabambi is seeking an order of mandamus compelling the respondents to perform their statutory duty under the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, by determining and responding to his request dated July 16 in accordance with the provisions of the Act.


He also requested a certified true copy of the certificate, academic record or other official records upon which the degree was predicated. The request was duly delivered to and received by the respondents on August 6, 2026.


Arabambi said he expressly made the request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, and stated the public-interest and accountability basis for it. He alleged that the respondents failed or neglected to provide the requested information within the period prescribed by the Act and did not communicate a written notice of refusal identifying the specific provision of the Act relied upon for denying access.
