Verify AI-Manipulated Video Before Threatening VDM’s Arrest, Onanuga Urged

A doctored clip with AI-generated audio has been circulating to falsely depict the president’s remarks. The original footage shows VDM calling out Tinubu’s promise to provide steady electricity and vowing not to seek a second term if he fails. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga threatened to push for VDM’s arrest after viewing the manipulated video. Critics argue Onanuga should verify the source before making public threats. This incident highlights the risk of deepfakes in spreading misinformation and the need for careful fact-checking in political discourse.
