The images of former presidents Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and Evelyn Aidou, also known as Selwa Broni, are said to be private jets, but they have resurfaced on social media, but this time they are in video format.
A video posted to Facebook shows Akufo-Addo sitting in bed and signing the document, sitting near the bed. The right hand of Akufo-Addo appears to be signing the document, but Serwaa Broni Waves appears to be scribbled with a document signed by Akufo-Addo.
First shared by GH I One Page on June 16, 2025, this video is an animated version of the viral image previously posted by the same account in 2022 and exposed by GhanaFact. The post has received 2.8 million views, 775 comments and 16,000 likes.
This Facebook account has a history of sharing videos generated by AI-generated civil servants, primarily targeting former President Akufo-Addo.
Images from 2022 revealed by Ghana Fact
In April 2022, Ghana Fact identified the photos after becoming a virus following the public explosion of Selwa Broni about his encounter with Akufo-Addo.
Using multiple image verification tools, including Google Reverse Image Search and Invid Bisification, GhanaFact investigated the images and discovered that they had been digitally altered.
The background was taken from actual photos of the luxury jet, but the image of the former president was released from another event where he was signing the e-Lewy bill.
Forensic tools revealed that a contradiction has been revealed that confirming that the photos were manipulated to create false impressions. (Read the full report here.)
Recycled claims currently animated by AI
Meanwhile, in June 2025, images of the same doctor resurfaced in video format.
Using Deepfake technology, we converted images into videos, created movements and gestures, and it looked as if Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni were real. This recreation gives false content a justification for new life and recirculation of content.
AI and politics
This video is part of a wider trend in the increasing use of AI to create politically leaning disinformation. Previously, operations were largely limited to changing static images and audio recordings.
Today, technology has evolved dramatically. AI tools, including Deepfake Technology, can convincingly simulate real people who speak, move and act in a lively way.
Ghana Fact monitored a surge in AI-generated content designed to politically discredit its enemies, upset public opinion, boost engagement and make politically ocky. This was particularly evident in the 2024 election, when AI-generated content was used in political propaganda.
A more recent example of AI-generated misinformation content involving the CEOs of Ghana Gold Commission (Goldbod), Sammy Gyamfi and Patricia Asiedua (Nana Agrada) was the Dollar Gift Saga.
Conclusion
The circular video depicting the former president and Selwa Broni is fraudulent content. AI will be generated using doctor images prior to 2022.
This is a classic case of recycled misinformation, which uses advanced technology to promote negative public sentiment.
