A certain Abdulrafiu Adesina Baruwa had filed a suit against Abiodun, alleging that he made a false claim about his educational qualification in the Form CF001 and the accompanying affidavit he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to Baruwa’s suit, Abiodun did not participate in the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
