Suspect Arrested for Spreading Fake AI Tinubu Audio
A police special team in Benin City has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis for creating and circulating an AI-generated audio clip mimicking President Bola Tinubu’s voice. The viral recording falsely attributed controversial comments to the President about South-East security, the 2027 election, and opposition figures. The Presidency quickly dismissed the audio as a deepfake and vowed to hold the culprits accountable. Investigations suggest Dennis extracted video footage, added AI-generated speech, and shared it online. Authorities say this arrest is a major breakthrough, and further details on additional suspects or charges are expected soon.
