Director-General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, says she only posts on X (formerly Twitter).

Okonjo-Iweala, who disclosed this in a public alert, warned Nigerians about a fake AI-manipulated video circulating online, urging the public to remain vigilant and avoid being duped.

She clarified that the video, which falsely used her image, is not authentic and is being investigated by relevant authorities.

“Just alerting Nigerians. Another fake AI-manipulated video. The authorities are handling it. Just wanted to alert you to be aware of this,” she said.

The former Minister of Finance reiterated that she does not operate accounts on popular social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp, stressing that any content appearing there under her name is fraudulent.

“As I repeatedly said, I never post anything on Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp. Anything emanating from these sources with my image is not from me. I only post on Twitter/X. I just don’t want people to be duped,” she added.
