The media office of His Excellency, Senator Adams OSHIOMHOLE has noted with dismay a poorly crafted and edited fake AI video of the outstanding Senator allegedly massaging the foot of a lady. We urge the public to jettison this false narrative that is in circulation to blackmail the people’s Comrade. It is an awkward height of insensitivity by unguarded power seekers who hind under the use of false information and can go to any length in bringing down an innocent assumed enemy, which the amiable Senator is not. In fact, we urge members of the public and the media to disregard its purport comprehensively and in totality.
This is a criminal cyber bullying and a needless attack on the personality of the Senator. And we will further investigate the publisher and the source of it.
The video was clearly doctored by malicious actors aimed at maligning the reputation of the amiable Senator. In the footage, the 30 seconds video published by @SaharaReporters on its facebook handle revealed intent desperation and the decrying state of media reportage devoid of investigative professionalism. Close examination of the alleged clip especially up till 0.6 seconds where the lady walked through the airstairs and the remainder 23 seconds of the alleged footage of Senator Oshiomhole significantly revealed disparity, glaringly suggesting contraption.
We therefore caution members of the public to always verify contents before ignorantly ascribing aspersions on public office holders which Adams Oshiomhole is one.
This antics, devised and manipulated by “obubuyeye” content creators in quest for online clicks and views to enhance the potentials of their dollar-rating pay (via online apps) is not only novel to our media space, but increasingly creating nuisance against Nigerians especially the influentials such as Oshiomhole. This calls for urgent social media regulations by relevant authorities. While Adams Oshiomhole is not against any content creators, those who desire to earn a living through this new found outlets should do so through legitimate means rather than engaging in egregious practice.
