Step into a whole new way of experiencing journalism with the CCIJ #Metaverse The metaverse isn’t just about reading stories—it’s about immersing yourself in them. Navigate through our investigations and uncover the reality behind the headlines. It might feel disorienting at first, but hang on—it’s worth it. This is storytelling reimagined.

Accurate information is vital for successful elections and vibrant democracies, but Nigeria's 2023 general election saw a surge of false claims from political party spokespersons and influencers. These falsehoods, often aimed at swaying voters or inciting violence, were not new for some individuals. Prominent figures like Femi Fani-Kayode, Dino Melaye, Festus Keyamo, Charles Oputa (Charly Boy), Adamu Garba, and Reno Omokri stood out for their actions. This thread highlights their roles and encourages the public to approach their social media claims with skepticism.
