: Fact-checkers from PRNigeria subjected the clips to speech recognition software. While the accuracy levels for the voices were high (91% for Obasanjo), they noted that modern AI tools like Microsoft's VALL-E can now mimic any voice with startling precision, even capturing emotional tonality.

Following the 2023 Nigerian general elections, a series of audio recordings purportedly featuring former President , activist Charly Boy (Charles Oputa), and former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke went viral. The clips allegedly captured them discussing a mass uprising or "uprising" of Nigerian youth to protest election results they claimed were "stolen."

: An investigation by TheCable reached a different conclusion, stating the audio did not meet the 80% confidence threshold required for authenticity. They labeled the clip as doctored to mislead Nigerians.

: Interestingly, reports from Sahara Reporters indicated that Charly Boy allegedly admitted to being part of the conversation. However, his subsequent social media activity did not show him mobilizing for an "uprising," but rather calling for calm and "legitimate means" to seek justice. 3. Verdict: How Reliable Are They?
