On June 24, 2024, a Facebook user posted a picture with the caption “Abia state longest bridge, This is the work of Alex Otti..
well-done sir..🙏🙏🙏”
A similar version of the post was uploaded by another Facebook user with the caption “INFRASTRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT: Aba Abia State longest bridge… a true testament of a man that is on a destined mission!!!
This is the work of Alex C. Otti .
This type of bridge will put Abia state stright on the map…”
Claim: Image shows the longest bridge in Abia State
Verification:
The CDD War Room could not trace this bridge project to any location in Abia State. Using a Google Reverse Image Search, we found that the image first appeared on X (formerly Twitter) on July 22, 2024.
The CDD War Room found that the image shows a bridge construction in China and was first uploaded online by “Civil Engineering Discoveries” on their verified X page. We can therefore confirm that the image does not show the longest bridge in Abia and is not part of the ongoing construction exercise of Alex Otti, the Abia State governor.
Verdict: FALSE
The claim that the image attached to the Facebook post is the longest bridge in Abia State is false. We found that the image was taken from the construction of a bridge in China and was first uploaded on X (formerly Twitter).
