Summary

On 24 October 2026 a Facebook user shared a photo purportedly showing a massive All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Kaduna and claimed it was not AI-generated. The FactCheckHub found the image was artificially generated and the claim false.

Visual inspection noted anomalies typical of AI-generated crowds (truncated or merged heads, lack of facial detail, no podium or stage, uniform lighting, and identically angled flags), and automated detectors (ZeroGPT and DeepAI) each returned ~99% likelihood that the image was AI-generated.
