Tech Sleuth Clears Man Arrested Over AI Tinubu Voice Note | Full Story Explained**

A major controversy has erupted in Nigeria after a man was arrested over a viral AI-generated voice note allegedly mimicking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In this video, we break down the full story behind the arrest, the role of Bayo Onanuga, and the shocking twist that led to the suspect being cleared.

According to reports, Nigerian police arrested Ifechukwu Dennis after Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, claimed he was responsible for creating the controversial audio. The voice note, which spread rapidly online, appeared to feature the president discussing 2027 election strategies and national insecurity—sparking outrage and debate across the country.

However, the situation took a dramatic turn when popular tech investigator Femi Unfiltered stepped in. After initially tracing the audio to Dennis, he later reversed his findings and cleared him, pointing instead to another individual, Peter Taiwo. This revelation has raised serious questions about the investigation process and whether authorities acted too quickly without proper verification.

The controversy also ties into an ongoing feud involving activist VeryDarkMan, who denied any involvement in spreading the audio and insisted it was a case of AI manipulation or deepfake technology.

This case highlights growing concerns about AI-generated content, misinformation, and the dangers of wrongful arrests in the digital age. While some Nigerians applaud efforts to combat fake news and deepfakes, others are criticizing the government’s priorities, especially amid rising insecurity and kidnappings.

Watch this video to get the full breakdown, key players involved, and what this means for the future of AI, media, and law enforcement in Nigeria.
