A Facebook user, Progressive Nigerian Politics, on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024, shared a post, claiming that Volkswagen has returned to Nigeria after 20 years.
DUBAWA carried out a Google reverse image search on the shared post. The result led us to a similar post made on Facebook on Sept. 25, 2012.
The picture is not of Ms Sonnberger but of Georgia state congressional representative, Nikema Williams, who was arrested with 15 others while protesting in the state Capitol, in the wake of the 2018 midterm elections.
Terrorism in Nigeria has a long history and remains a significant global issue affecting both the country and other nations. Predominantly in the northern region, incidents involving Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen crisis have resulted in the loss of lives and destruction of properties in the affected areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that 17 contenders from different political parties are in the race for governor. This wide field offers voters a variety of options, though many might only be familiar with a handful of these candidates due to varying levels of media exposure.
The claim is misleading. Our research shows that the incident occurred in Port-Harcourt, River State in 2015 and is not connected with the Igbos.
