We thought it was AI- Akpabio mocks Oshiomhole over viral leg massage video

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has mocked Senator Adams Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet, saying the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.

Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor and senator representing Edo North massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.

Speaking during the Thursday plenery session, Akpabio made a slight mockery of the incident.

He said with a slight humour “Okay I don’t want to go outside what we are doing, I would have asked a question when there was a picture showing one of our senators on a plane massaging the leg of a girl.

“Senator Oshimole and that your very good friend came to give me security information that we just ignored the massage because we thought it was AI but if you have another evidence, we have a petition before us, we can look if it’s not AI.”
