You may have to go into each app you've recently installed or updated and check which has lockscreen permissions.
Just whizz through them in app manager.

Anything with the word GO in the title, and file managers, memory cleaners, themes are the usual suspects.
That's the reason no anti virus or airpush has picked it up, you have installed it and given permissions to it.

Its creating its own fake lockscreen, after swiping it away does the phone instantly unlock? Does this just pop up at any time? If so, it's a false lockscreen.
But one app is behind it...... Either that or you've had a pornhub pop-up and you clicked the imaginary cancel button which actually is an install button.....

It won't be Facebook, too big a company to risk the fallout from adware
