“An order granting leave to the Applicant to issue the prerogative writ of mandamus compelling the 1st and 2nd Respondents to ensure, utilising their supervisory and disciplinary powers, that the 3rd – 5th and the 7th Respondents release to the Applicant his academic transcript at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
“An interim order of injunction restraining the 3d – 5th and the 7th Defendants from tampering or continuing to tamper with the Applicant’s academic records at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, pending the determination of the substantive Suit,” he prayed the court.
