On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, a doctored video of Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan/VDM), which had been circulating on social media, caught the attention of Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu's media advisor. In the video, VDM appeared to reference an AI-generated voice of President Bola Tinubu saying insecurity in Nigeria would continue because Nigerians did not vote for him in 2023.
