Nigeria’s Presidency says it will take legal action against VeryDarkMan (VDM) over a viral audio clip that allegedly features President Bola Tinubu making controversial remarks. Multiple reports describe the audio as being falsely attributed to the President and characterized by outlets and officials as AI-generated or otherwise not authentic. The Presidency’s position is that the circulation of the purported recording is misleading and warrants legal response. One report also includes criticism from a presidential aide who challenges VDM for sharing the clip and aligns with the threat of legal proceedings. The reports note that the audio has circulated online and is linked to claims about Tinubu’s views on insecurity, World Bank loan matters, and the 2027 election. While the accounts differ in wording, they consistently attribute the dispute to the Presidency’s contention that the audio is fake and that VDM’s posting or promotion of it could lead to legal consequences. The Presidency has not described the specific legal charges or the exact steps it will take in the excerpts provided.
