Man admits creating fake videos about Soludo’s son, tenders public apology

Ejike Ofoegbu, publisher of Igbo Time Magazine, has admitted that he created and distributed misleading videos falsely portraying himself as Ozonna Soludo, the son of Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

In a video statement, Ofoegbu acknowledged that the content shared on Facebook and other social media platforms was fabricated and apologised to the governor, his family and the Nigerian public.

He admitted that several statements attributed to Governor Soludo and his son were entirely false.

Among the fabricated claims was an allegation that the governor had disowned Ozonna. Ofoegbu also confessed to inventing comments supposedly made by Ozonna about his father and other notable individuals.

Explaining his actions, he said the videos were produced to generate social media engagement and earn revenue online.

“I am really sorry to Nigerians and to the Soludo family for what I have caused them. I will do everything possible to retract the false claims,” he stated.

He promised to remove and retract the false content across the platforms where it had been shared.

No official confirmation had been issued regarding his arrest or any legal action against him as of the time this report was filed.
