Local Voices Liberia Fact Checking Desk has done a quick verification of these pictures using an online tool called AI Image Detector which rates the image determining is it is artificial or a real human.

We found that the first photo below of a younger person in the same position and outfit of the former Vice President to be a manipulated image. This shows that this picture has been manipulated using an AI tool.

Meanwhile, the second photo (seen above) is the original photo of the the former VP. As seen in the result from the AI Image Detector, this is a genuine photo of the former Vice President

Also, the result shows that this is a genuine photo of the former Vice President as he was seen exiting a facility in the same outfit as the one he was wearing while  sitting in the sofa.

The former Vice President can also be seen in this photo wearing the same outfit

Conclusion

The photo of the former vice president sitting in a sofa is authentic following our verification. However, this same photo is being manipulated to make it appear that it is not Mr. Boakai.
