Caim: A Facebook page, Makoni Times posted a picture claiming that the APC Chairman in Kailahun was shot dead. A screenshot of the post showed a bloody body lying under a mango tree. The post has since gone viral on another platform, WhatsApp.
FINDING
DUBAWA called the APC District Chairman in Kailahun, Ensa Jajua, to verify this claim. He stated, “I was almost killed, I was attacked, and they almost killed me, but I am ok. However, two of my MPs were seriously beaten and received medical care; Wilfred Barnett and Tamba Alice Lahai.”
DUBAWA also subjected the picture to a Google reverse image search but found no similar photos online.
VERDICT False.
