The attention of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been drawn to a malicious video circulating online, falsely attributed to the Commission.Â
The ICPC states unequivocally that the images, names, and content in the video are fabricated and, in some instances, AI-generated, designed solely to mislead unsuspecting members of the public. The Commission has not issued any report or statement supporting the claims made therein, including the alleged involvement of any individual and/or judicial officer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the ICPC is not investigating any individual, SAN, group of lawyers, or judicial officer in connection with the fictitious ₦50 billion bribe referenced in the video. No such case, transaction, or investigation exists within the records of the Commission. These claims are entirely false and should be disregarded. The ICPC remains committed to its mandate of conducting credible, evidence-based investigations in line with the law.
The Commission hereby warns individuals or groups behind the creation and dissemination of this falsehood to desist immediately. The ICPC will not tolerate the misuse of its name and institutional credibility to spread disinformation in the name of “content creation”. Those responsible for originating or amplifying this malicious content, when apprehended, will face serious legal consequences, as the Commission is prepared to deploy the full weight of the law against perpetrators. Members of the public are advised to rely only on official ICPC channels for verified information.
