According to findings from an independent forensic and cybersecurity investigation commissioned by INEC, the allegations were dismissed as “fabricated, technically impossible, and part of a coordinated disinformation campaign.”
Investigators relied on X platform analytics, open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques, internet archive records, and timestamp verification to arrive at their conclusions. The report confirmed that Prof. Amupitan does not operate any personal X account.
A key section of the report stated: “The X account attributed to Prof. Amupitan is a clear case of impersonation. All alleged posts, replies, or statements linked to him are fraudulent and unverifiable.”
Further analysis showed that the account in question was created in September 2022 and had no connection to the professor’s verified email addresses or official institutional affiliations.
One of the most significant inconsistencies identified involved the timing of the alleged post. According to the report, the reply “Victory is sure” appeared 13 minutes before the original post it was said to respond to—an occurrence investigators described as impossible on any digital platform.
