Utomi’s reaction followed posts by social media user Decosule, who called on INEC to explain the presence of what he described as AI-generated images in voter records displayed on the commission’s website. Decosule shared screenshots purportedly taken from the online voter register for polling units in Ward 11, Etsako West Local Government Area, and Udomi in Esan Central Local Government Area, questioning the authenticity of some photographs. He asked the electoral commission to clarify how the images were included in the register, who conducted the voter registration or image-capturing process, and whether the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) associated with the entries had been collected. In a post reacting to the issue, Utomi warned that questions surrounding the images could undermine public confidence in the country’s electoral process if not properly addressed.
