The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis, the individual accused of creating and circulating an AI-generated voice note falsely presented as a leaked recording of President Bola Tinubu.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a post on X on Thursday.
“The IGP crack team has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis who originated the fake voice that he passed on to his gullible targets as President Tinubu’s voice,” he said.
Onanuga added that Mr Ifechukwu was arrested in Benin and that the police would issue a statement on the case.
