The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has dismissed a viral video circulating online, describing it as false and misleading.
The Commission said the video, which has been falsely linked to it, contains fabricated visuals, names, and information, some of which were allegedly generated using artificial intelligence to deceive the public.
In a statement issued by J. Okor Odey, Head of Media and Public Communication, the Commission clarified that it has not released any report or statement supporting the claims made in the video, including allegations involving any individual or judicial officer.
“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 emphasized.
“No such case, transaction, or investigation is recorded within the Commission’s files. These assertions are completely false and should be ignored,” it further stated.
The ICPC reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling its mandate of conducting credible, evidence-based investigations in accordance with the law.
It cautioned individuals or groups responsible for the creation and distribution of the video to cease their actions immediately.
“The ICPC will not permit the misuse of its name and institutional integrity to propagate disinformation under the guise of ‘content creation’,” it added.
The Commission indicated that those accountable for originating or amplifying the malicious content will face severe legal repercussions upon being apprehended.
