Claim: Pictures show APC thugs disrupting the voting exercise in Benin
Verification
The CDD War Room conducted Google Reverse Image searches on the pictures. We found that they were old pictures. The first picture was traced to a news report published by Daily Trust on 21, July, 2023. The second picture was traced to a BBC report dated 2019. The third picture was traced to a report published on 25 February 2023. This shows that all the pictures used to depict the disruption of voting exercise by APC thugs are from previous elections in Nigeria.
Verdict: FALSE
