Claim: An X user shared a video clip of a revamped bus terminal, lauding Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, for it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Verdict: False. DUBAWA\u2019s findings reveal that the seemingly rehabilitated transport facility is AI-generated. Moreover, there is no such place as \u201cTerminal Bus Antar Kota\u201d in Abia State.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Text<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Abia State governor, Alex Otti, was sworn<\/a> into office on May 29, 2023, the Labour Party flagbearer has prioritised the construction of public facilities and the revamp of infrastructure, among other things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this backdrop, an X user, @abdullahayofe1<\/a>, (archived here<\/a>), shared a video clip of a rehabilitated bus terminal and praised Governor Otti for revamping the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-minute-twenty-eight-second clip showed a chronological timeline of how the once-deserted, dilapidated transport facility became a functioning, attractive bus terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOmo Alex Otti is really working ooo\u2026Look at the new Abia bus terminal,\u201d the X user wrote, commending Governor Otti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Friday, Jan. 23, 2026, the post has attracted over 424,400 views, 211 comments, 800 retweets, 3,900 likes, and 547 bookmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some X users believed the post, others thought the facility was unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWill this man (Otti) be dragged once he decamps to APC?\u201d ObrikoG<\/a> asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis good work has campaigned for him,\u201d @Charles38346453<\/a> commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAI and doings,\u201d @OEmmanueltee<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the contradictory responses in the comment section, and to set the record straight, DUBAWA decided to verify the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We submitted keyframes from the video to Google Reverse Image Search. The result linked us to places (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>) where the clip had been shared previously, and none of them mentioned Abia State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the links that appeared to be the clip\u2019s origin<\/a> labelled the video as containing  Artificial Intelligence (AI) media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We submitted screenshots of the clip to Hive Moderation AI detection, and it flagged the material as containing high levels of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Zhuque AI Detection<\/a> noting that it is not certain about the clip, it indicated that the video contains 56.15 per cent AI content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA also noticed AI features in the video clip, including inconsistencies in some images, faceless figures, and unmanned vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA also checked for \u201cTerminal Bus Antar Kota\u201d in Abia State, but found nothing. We also contacted residents in the State, who told us the facility in the video clip does not exist in the State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further research indicates that Governor Otti recently inspected<\/a> an ongoing construction of the Umuahia Central Bus Terminal, which has a different structure from the facility shared by the claimant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bus terminal shared by the X claimant was created using AI and does not exist in Abia State. Therefore, the claim is false.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
