Hot SourceBusinessman Ibrahim Mahama has issued a strong warning to the public to disregard circulating AI-generated videos and social media accounts falsely suggesting he is involved in cryptocurrency or investment schemes.
In a statement released on Sunday, his social aide, Rafik Mahama, said unknown individuals have been creating misleading digital content to scam unsuspecting members of the public.
“The public is hereby put on notice to disregard the AI-generated videos being circulated by faceless people or sources about Mr. Ibrahim Mahama being engaged in any form of investment scheme or cryptocurrency trading,” he stated.
He clarified that “Mr. Ibrahim Mahama is not involved in any form of investment scheme or cryptocurrency trading or business dealings anywhere,” urging the public to be vigilant and avoid falling victim to the fraudulent claims.
According to the aide, the matter has been reported to state authorities, and the Police Cybercrime Unit has arrested a key suspect believed to be behind the fake content. The suspect has since been processed for court.
The statement further cautioned the public about a growing number of fake Facebook and TikTok accounts using the name and photographs of the businessman. It stressed that the CEO of Engineers & Planners Ltd and Dzata Cement Ltd maintains activity only on his verified Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts.
The development comes at a time when AI-generated scams and impersonation schemes have been on the rise globally, prompting cybersecurity experts to call for increased public awareness and digital safety practices.
