1. Controversy and irony in the arrest of Ifechukwu Dennis as a whistleblower now claim the IGP arrested the wrong person
The Nigeria Police Force, through a crack team under the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), arrested Ifechukwu Dennis in Benin City. The arrest was publicly announced by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
The official statement claimed that Mr Dennis “originated the fake voice that he passed on to his gullible targets as President Tinubu’s voice”. The investigation centred on an AI-generated voice note that was widely circulated online, falsely attributed to President Bola Tinubu, and superimposed on an original video of activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).
End of story? Not nearly.
