Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has publicly distanced himself from AI-generated videos falsely depicting him endorsing certain drugs and scholarships.
In a statement on his personal X account, Adeboye warned the public against deceptive social media posts from platforms such as “Africa Health Centre” and “Church-Funded Scholarships”.
Adeboye emphasized that he had no involvement in such promotions and urged people to refrain from engaging with or sharing the content.
He stated, “These videos are NOT from me, and I want to make it clear that I have no involvement in such promotions.”
The pastor also called on the public to report the fraudulent accounts to prevent further misinformation.
The issue of AI-generated videos featuring prominent figures, including politicians, celebrities, and media personalities, has become increasingly common on social media.
These videos are often designed to manipulate public perception and promote false narratives. Adeboye assured that relevant authorities are already addressing the issue, stressing that God’s name should not be misused for deceitful purposes.
