📅 This poster got ahead of itself. Dated October 2026, it circulated in September. Uganda’s Education Ministry has disowned the purported school directives. #PesaChecked: cfa.fyi/XqES5wr

🔥 This was not a xenophobic arson attack by a Kenyan man In the video, a Luganda voice is heard saying, “Fire is finishing off people,” and the vehicles bear Ugandan number plates, clues that the incident occurred in Uganda, not Kenya. #PesaChecked: cfa.fyi/g5XnA40

A death of a king has sparked a wave of misinformation. Tooro Kingdom's prime minister has disowned a purported statement containing King Oyo's final message and reposted a royal family member's warning that it is fake. #PesaChecked: cfa.fyi/1VCLOqm

‼️ Watch out for the warning signs. Legitimate company websites are usually well-established and use verifiable official domains. Recently created websites that conceal registrant details should raise suspicion. #PesaChecked: cfa.fyi/rQcIylg
