Part 2: how fact-checkers caught another prison deepfake

Remember those fake Nnamdi Kanu prison videos? We broke down the first one. Now let's talk about the second clip. This time, it showed Kanu eating in a prison yard while speaking to the camera.

The team at DUBAWA wasn't convinced. They ran this clip through our AI video detector too. The result? 63% AI-generated. Another digital fake, another attempt to manipulate the narrative.

The breakdown: what gave this one away

DUBAWA's frame-by-frame analysis found the same telltale signs:

  • AI crowd glitch,
  • the magic spoon,
  • missing facial scar,
  • unnatural mouth movements,
  • weird lighting shifts.

When DUBAWA submitted both videos to our isFake AI video checker, the results confirmed their suspicions:

  • Video #1: 72% AI-generated
  • Video #2: 63% AI-generated
Both showed clear signs of face-replacement and synthetic frame reconstruction. These are the hallmarks of modern deepfake tech.
