Labour Party chieftain, Abayomi Arabambi, has filed a lawsuit against the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) over the alleged refusal to release Peter Obi's academic records, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). Arabambi requested a certified true copy (CTC) of Obi's Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy degree (certificate number D000198) issued in 1984, in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act.
The university, however, denied his request. In court documents filed on September 9, Arabambi stated that the university and its vice chancellor are the first and second respondents in the case. He is seeking an order compelling the respondents to perform their statutory duty under the Freedom of Information Act (FoI Act) and respond to his request, which was made on July 16, in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
