Edo Voter Register: Utomi and Others Demand INEC Explanation over Alleged AI-Generated Images

Prof. Pat Utomi, a Nigeria Democratic Congress chieftain, called on the electoral commission INEC to explain allegations that AI-generated photographs appear in Edo State’s online voter register. Social media user Decosule shared screenshots from polling units in Etsako West and Esan Central and questioned the images’ origins, voter-record verification and whether the associated voter cards had been collected. Utomi warned that the issue could undermine public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process. The screenshots do not independently prove that the images were AI-generated, and INEC has yet to issue an official response.
