This finding directly contradicts her media team’s recent claim that her number and voice were “cloned” as part of a smear campaign:
“The voice you hear is not hers—it is the product of sophisticated audio simulation,” her team declared.
But the facts now say otherwise. Globally recognised AI voice detection tool, Pindrop, returned a high-confidence ninety-eight percent match, identifying the voice in the tape as hers beyond reasonable doubt.
In the most recent audio, Natasha allegedly accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of blackmailing President Tinubu to derail her 2027 political ambitions. She also invoked Nigeria’s NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, hinting at secret communications.
Most damningly, she reportedly instructed the newspaper editor and journalist to:
“Turn the public against the Nigerian government… leak this slowly, let it burn from inside”, the suspended Senator said.
Natasha had earlier denied speaking with Dr. Sandra Duru. But in a later live video with journalist Adeola Fayehun, she admitted they spoke on the phone—another contradiction that weakens her credibility and bolsters claims of manipulation and deceit.
Whistleblower and US based journalist, Dr. Sandra Duru, whom Natasha’s camp has tried to discredit, responded:
“She fears me because I cannot be bought or bullied. I have the truth.”
With AI confirming the voice is real, and inconsistencies piling up, the question remains: Is Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan the victim or the architect?
The use of AI and application of forensic investigations for independent verification becomes increasingly vital in distinguishing truth from deception. While public figures may challenge narratives and raise allegations, verified evidence must remain the cornerstone of public discourse. In this case, the forensic confirmation of the voice recording not only raises serious credibility concerns but also underscores the importance of accountability and factual integrity in political engagement.
