The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has warned against the use of AI-generated videos to depict flooding in the state.

This came after an X user, @OwoBalo, shared a video of a flooded compound with expensive cars submerged, alleging the incident occurred in Lagos.

Reacting, Wahab said, "Using AI-generated videos to promote a particular agenda is neither responsible nor in the public interest. We rely on information shared across various platforms to monitor developments and coordinate appropriate responses across the state. Deliberately circulating manipulated or AI-generated content undermines these efforts and is unfair to those who have been genuinely affected by flooding.

"We all have a responsibility to ensure that the information we share is accurate and does not mislead the public. I encourage everyone to refrain from creating or disseminating misleading content for attention or engagement. Let us act responsibly and in the best interest of our dear state."

Just take a look at those high class cars 😎🥺🥺🥺#lagosnigeria #flood pic.twitter.com/X53hCWx2Mn
