‘Not Me, Not Real’: Oshiomhole claims private jet foot massage video is AI manipulation 

Former Edo State Governor and current senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has dismissed a viral video purportedly showing him massaging a woman’s feet aboard a private jet, describing the footage as artificially generated.

 

Oshiomhole’s media team on Wednesday said the clip, which has been widely shared on social media, was a “poorly crafted and edited fake AI video,” insisting it did not reflect any real event involving the senator, reports The Eagle online.

 

His spokesperson, Oseni Momodu, said the team identified “technical irregularities,” particularly around the six-second mark of the 30-second clip, which they said pointed clearly to digital manipulation.

 

In the footage, the ex-national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) seated comfortably inside the aircraft as he caresses the foot of the woman sitting opposite him.

 

Online investigators identified the woman as a South African lifestyle influencer.

 

The senator’s team described the circulation of the clip as “criminal cyberbullying,” alleging it was part of a blackmail attempt orchestrated by political enemies.

 

They said further investigations would be carried out to trace the source of the video.

 

The footage attracted intense backlash online, coming shortly after Oshiomhole made public remarks that “food is now too cheap in Nigeria,” comments that had already drawn criticism and accusations of elitism from sections of the public.

 

The media team maintained that the video was fabricated and insisted the senator had no connection to the content portrayed in the footage.
