Labour Party chieftain Abayomi Arabambi has initiated legal action against three institutions – the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) – over the academic credentials of presidential candidate Peter Obi. Arabambi filed the suits in the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking access to official records related to certificates allegedly issued to Obi.

The cases were filed under the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, seeking disclosure of records to ascertain the status and particulars of the certificates. The suits are marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2064/2026 for WAEC, FHC/ABJ/CS/2063/2026 for NYSC, and FHC/ABJ/CS/2144/2026 for UNN. Arabambi's lawyer, Anderson Asemota, filed the suits on behalf of his client.

Arabambi clarified that he is not questioning the authenticity of the certificates but is requesting disclosure of official records from which the status and particulars of the certificates can be ascertained. He also stated that he is not asking the institutions to create any new documents, but is seeking access to existing official records within their custody, possession, or control.
