The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has dismissed a widely circulated video alleging a ₦50 billion bribery scandal, describing it as false, misleading, and partly generated using artificial intelligence.

In a statement released on Monday, the commission said the viral content has no connection to any of its operations or investigations, urging the public to disregard it entirely.

Spokesperson J. Okor Odey stated that the individuals, claims, and visuals featured in the video were fabricated to deceive viewers and damage the agency’s credibility.

“The content being circulated is entirely false. The images, names, and narratives presented are manufactured and, in some cases, AI-generated to mislead the public,” he said.

The commission stressed that it is not investigating any individual, including any Senior Advocate of Nigeria, legal practitioners, or members of the judiciary, in relation to the alleged ₦50 billion bribery claim.

“For clarity, no such case, transaction, or investigation exists within the records of the commission,” the statement added.

The ICPC warned those responsible for creating and sharing the video to immediately cease their actions, noting that it would pursue legal measures against anyone found culpable.

It also cautioned against the growing trend of misinformation disguised as digital content, reaffirming its commitment to transparency and fact-based investigations.

The agency urged Nigerians to rely solely on its official communication channels for accurate updates and to avoid spreading unverified information.
