Mo Abudu Cries Out Over ‘Scary’ AI Deepfake Video Promising ₦700k Daily Income; Warns Nigerians to Shun Viral Investment Trap

The “digital trenches” of Nigerian social media have hit a new level of danger as media mogul Mo Abudu becomes the latest victim of a high-tech identity heist. Today Thursday, May 14, 2026, the EbonyLife CEO was forced to issue an emergency “security alert” after a manipulated video looking and sounding exactly like her began promising Nigerians a “magical” daily income of ₦700,000.

The deepfake video, which has already been shared thousands of times, shows a “digital clone” of Abudu pitching a secret investment strategy. Using advanced AI to mimic her tone and mannerisms, the scammers behind the portal have attempted to use her “Value-Addition” reputation to lure unsuspecting victims into a classic Ponzi scheme. “It is terrifying how real these things look now,” one tech analyst noted, “but a ₦700,000 daily return is a technical impossibility that should be an immediate red flag.”

Reacting swiftly, the real Mo Abudu released a statement to “clear the air” and protect her followers from financial ruin. She made it clear that she has no connection to any daily-earning schemes and warned that her brand is being used as a “security shield” for cybercriminals. “I would never ask you to put your money into something that sounds this ridiculous,” she told her audience, urging everyone to treat the viral clip as a “technical fraud.”

As the 2027 transition cycle approaches, security experts warn that “digital character assassination” and AI-driven scams are on the rise. This latest attack on Abudu’s identity is part of a broader “technical fracture” in online trust, where even the most recognizable faces can be used to manufacture lies.

For now, the message from the EbonyLife headquarters is one of total vigilance. Before you click on any link promising a “quick ₦700k,” remember the mogul’s warning: if it’s not on the verified portal with the blue tick, it’s probably just a ghost in the machine looking to empty your bank account.
