ABUJA, NIGERIA- The iNews Times| The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has dismissed a viral video circulating online as false and misleading, stating that it was not issued by the Commission.
In a statement signed by J. Okor Odey, Head of Media and Public Communication, the agency described the visuals, names, and claims in the video as fabricated, noting that some elements were generated using artificial intelligence to deceive the public.
The ICPC clarified that it has not released any report or statement supporting the allegations contained in the video, including claims of a supposed N50 billion bribery case involving legal practitioners and judicial officers.
“To clarify, the ICPC is not conducting an investigation into any individual, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), group of lawyers, or judicial officer concerning the fictitious N50 billion bribe mentioned in the video,” the statement said.
