A Nigerian X user identified as Enori has apologised after admitting that she used artificial intelligence to create and circulate a false image claiming an itel Power Tank had exploded because of overcharging. She later deleted the post and acknowledged that the incident never happened.
The apology followed a warning from itel, which described the image as fabricated and said it would consider legal action against individuals who deliberately use manipulated or AI-generated content to spread false information about its products. The company said such content could mislead customers and damage its reputation.
No verified incident has been linked to the explosion shown in the viral image. The case has renewed concerns about how AI-generated visuals can be used to spread misinformation online and the need for users to verify claims before sharing them.
