A supposed viral video of actor and content creator, Ijoba Lande, in which he is in the nude and in bed with a woman said to be wife to a senator has drawn his reaction.
In another video of him posted on Instagram, Lande said the video is an AI-generated content, which is being used to drag his image in the mud and blackmail him.
“I’m calling on the Nigerian government to act fast on the use of AI to create videos. If not regulated, it will cause a lot of damage in this country.
“Someone sent me a video and threatened me. In the video, I was naked and in bed with a married woman.
“I’m not the one in that video, but the person is threatening me and demanding ₦5 million. If you are the one behind it, just delete it. I am not the person in it.
“What do you gain from ruining people’s lives? The video I complained about a few days ago is already causing me problems.
“They are now sending the video to my benefactors, and some of them don’t seem to believe it isn’t me. I don’t even understand how the video was made.
“I found out that the woman in the video is married to a senator, and several people have been sending it to me.
“Please, if you receive the video, delete it immediately and don’t forward it to me. The person in the video isn’t me. I’m not a kid, I would know if I was intimate with someone. And to the person who created that video, I hand you over to God,” he said in the rebuttal.
