    Have you seen the video of 9-year old Alexandra begging for financial assistance for her cancer treatment? Our findings show that the organisation behind the video, “Netiv Halev,” is a multifaceted scam network. #DubawaChecks See the facts here:

    This tweet is false ❌ @PeterObi never asked northerners to carry ID cards during his time as Anambra State governor. Records show that it was Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, under the programme “Know Your Neighbour” that declared that Northerners should move around with ID cards.

    Meanwhile it's the same Peter Obi that insisted that Northerners living in his state must register and have ID cards when he was the Governor.

    CORRECTION! 1/3 During the ARISE TV townhall live fact-checking, we rated Peter Obi’s claim on Nigeria’s health budget as incorrect. The rating was based on our interpretation of his phrase ‘the past six years’, which informed our decision to use figures between 2017 and 2022.

    "Nigeria's total health budget in the last six years is N2 trillion, 250 billion," - @PeterObi. FALSE! Data showed that between 2017 and 2022, the Federal Government allocated N2.7 trillion to the health sector. #NigeriaDecides2023

    Someone on Twitter shared a collection of pictures as "proof" that Peter Obi demolished a mosque and pursued Northerners from Anambra State. That is FALSE ❌ All the pictures were taken from totally different contexts and used to paint a false narrative. #DubawaChecks

    Our findings show that the men were arrested in Algeria by the Algerian police and not in Dubai. Also, their nationalities were not disclosed by the Algerian police to be Nigerians. We debunked this post in 2022. Read it here:

    This tweet is false ❌ None of these 4 pictures is from Anambra State and the images have nothing to do with the northerners or Hausa-Fulani Muslims residing in Anambra State. Follow this thread as we fact-check the pictures.

    This tweet is FALSE ❌ Fact-check shows that this video was taken at Bugum Chugu, a fire festival that happens in Ghana. The events in this video are not related to Nigeria and they have nothing to do with @atiku or the PDP. #DubawaChecks

    2/3 However, a review of Mr. Obi’s comment shows he was referring to data between 2016 and 2021. Therefore, our rating was incorrect. We regret the error and apologise to Mr. Obi (@PeterObi).
