The Rivers State Police Command in Nigeria has denied reports of a kidnapping incident involving four women disguised as market traders, stating that a viral photo and audio message claiming such an event occurred are fake. The image, which showed three women in market attire being interrogated next to a bus, was shared widely on social media but was identified as AI-generated through a preliminary digital assessment. The police emphasized that no such incident had been reported in the state and warned the public against believing the content, which could incite fear and disorder. They have launched an investigation to trace the origin of the false post.
