CLAIM: Video shows unknown gunmen attacking security personnel during the 2025 Anambra governorship election
VERIFICATION
Checks by the CDD War Room returned no genuine and credible evidence to support the claim. An analysis of the video revealed some inconsistencies. While the incident in the video shows two vehicles engulfed in flames, the sound of sporadic gunshots was found to be fake. Also, the atmosphere in the video appears far from an instance of security personnel being attacked by unknown gunmen on election day.
VERDICT: FALSE
