Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who represents Ed North, has said that a video showing him massaging the feet of a South African influencer in private was generated by AI.
X The short video, which went viral on Instagram and WhatsApp, showed Oshiomhole sitting across from a woman on a luxury aircraft, placing her feet on his lap and massaging them.
The video prompted mixed reactions, with many Nigerians questioning the senator’s actions and lifestyle, while others expressed concerns about privacy and misinformation.
Reacting to the controversy on Wednesday, Mr Oshiomhole denied that the video was generated by artificial intelligence and claimed that the footage was fake and deliberately designed to tarnish his reputation.
He described the clip as a product of modern digital manipulation and called on the public to be careful about believing unverified content online.
The senator’s denial further polarizes opinion, with some accepting the senator’s explanation and pointing to the increasing use of AI to create realistic but misleading videos, while others remain skeptical and want hard evidence to prove the footage is fake.
