JUST IN!! Presidency Caught Spreading Fake News(Photos)

A media aide to President Muhammad Buhari, Lauretta Onochie has been caught spreading fake news on Twitter.

She claimed that Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar  distributed cash and food at his Sokoto rally.

The Image

Onochie tweeted an image supposedly from the Sokoto campaign rally that held on Monday, December 3.

Also, one Facebook user, named Zara Gift Onyinye posted the same picture and tagged it “This is how it happened in Sokoto today…Shameless to say the least”.

The post has since garnered over 1,800 shares.

Having reversed search the image, we found that the same first appeared online in February 2017 when a Lagos-based Charity foundation, released photos from an outreach: here.

The same image was reused to publicise a Nollywood actor’s orphanage visit, two days later also in February 2017.

We, therefore, submit that this image does not support the claim that presidential hopeful Atiku, induced voters with cash or gift at his December 3, 2018, Sokoto campaign rally.
