Nigerian User Apologizes for Fake Itel Power Tank Image

Enori, a Nigerian user on X, issued an apology after admitting to creating and circulating a fake image claiming that an itel Power Tank had exploded. She shared the AI-generated image earlier in the week, which gained significant attention before she deleted the post.
In her apology, Enori stated, “I made a post three days ago claiming that itel solar fan exploded and that it was overcharging, which I used AI to create. It didn’t happen, and I’m very, very sorry to the itel team and to the itel customers.” She acknowledged the impact of her actions on the itel brand and its customers, emphasizing that it was never her intention to harm the brand.
Following this incident, itel issued a warning regarding the circulation of the fake image, describing it as fabricated and threatening legal action against those spreading false information about its products. The itel Power Tank is marketed as a portable power source with safety features, and there has been no verified incident linking it to any explosion.
