A Facebook post with a TikTok video purportedly of a hospitality robot made by the Federal University Oye-Ekiti in Nigeria is FALSE.
The post reads, “This is Nigeria. This Robot was designed and constructed by the Department of Mechatronics, Federal University, Oye- Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. ‘A Robot Serving food in a restaurant’.”
The post adds, “As you can listen to the background discussion. Nigeria is building capacity to catch-up with global technology.”
A search for the TikTok username @house_of_lovedoctor visible in the video in question established that the video was filmed in the United States (US).
The TikTok account shared the post on 26 September 2023 with the caption, “At any point where a customer obstructs ANITA’S operation, she cries for help. Shop located at 4150 Lafayette rd, IN 46254 Indianapolis. AFS Kitchen.”
AFS Kitchen is an African restaurant in Indianapolis, USA.
On 21 September 2023, the creator shared a different post of the robot at the same restaurant with Indianapolis as the tagged location and responded to a comment clarifying it is not in Nigeria but in the USA.
A reverse image search of a screenshot of the robot from the video on Yandex established that it is a product of a US-based company and not manufactured in Nigeria, as alleged.
Images of the robot were featured in an article dated 15 March 2022 titled, “Bear Robotics Raises $81M Series B to Scale Up Mobile Robots in the Hospitality Market.”
Bear Robotics has manufactured two hospitality robots dubbed “Servi” and “Servi Plus”, which have been deployed to various restaurants globally.
PesaCheck has looked into a Facebook post with a video purportedly of a hospitality robot made by the Federal University Oye-Ekiti in Nigeria and finds it to be FALSE.
This post is part of an ongoing series of PesaCheck fact-checks examining content marked as potential misinformation on Facebook and other social media platforms.

The original image dates back to 2010 and doesn’t feature the Palestine flag.

This image on Facebook, purportedly of the Cairo Tower in Egypt displaying the Palestine flag, is ALTERED.
The image is accompanied by a text that reads, “Cairo Tower is decorated with the Palestinian flag. Here is Cairo,, here is Palestine.”
The claim was shared amid ongoing armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which broke out on 7 October 2023.
A Google search for the keywords “Cairo Tower images” established the image in question was altered.
The original image is available on Wikimedia Commons with the description, “Cairo Tower at Night.”
It was uploaded on 3 February 2010 and is attributed to Ahmed Santos.
A side by side comparison of the altered image and the original one reveals similarities between the two, including the moon’s shape and position. The background colour of the sky and the outline of the trees at the bottom are other similarities.
The original image is also available on the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) website alongside other images of Cairo Tower, and is attributed to Santos.
There are no reports from a credible source of the Cairo Tower displaying the Palestine flag in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
PesaCheck has looked into an image shared on Facebook purportedly of the Cairo Tower in Egypt displaying the Palestine flag, and finds it to be ALTERED.

A picture making rounds on Facebook and WhatsApp claiming to show a road section in Zimbabwe is false and misleading.
The picture was shared by a Facebook user on September 12, 2023, with an accompanying post that read: “The Zimbabwe they will not show you on social media. ”
It generated massive engagement from the public, with 59K reactions, 6,500 comments, and 4,000 shares. However, some comments criticised the post, saying that Zimbabwe is landlocked without an ocean. Others mentioned that the picture was of South Africa, and yet others, Morocco.
A screenshot of the post on Facebook
The picture was also shared in a WhatsApp group with a similar caption:
“This is how our cost line should look, and even better. From Entebbe Airport to Luzia Portbell (along Lake Victoria), the advantage of bordering the lake should come with improved infrastructure along its shores. This is Zimbabwe, which they do not show you in the news (sic).”
The screenshot of the claim as shared on the WhatsApp group
211 Check also found a Facebook post by Burundi Actu from 2020 bearing the same image. The post is in Kinyarwanda, which, when translated to English, means: “The picture shows how the #Bujumbura-#Rumonge road will be built in 2040. The construction has been completed #Burundi”
Claim Verification
211 Check ran a Google Reverse Image Search to verify the claim and found that the picture is of Marqala/Merkala Beach in Tangier, Morocco.
Among the results are various instances where the image has been attributed to Morocco, as seen in this Moroccan travel website. The image has also been used similarly to showcase tourist attractions in Tangier, Morocco, as seen here.
The beach can also be seen in this Youtube video whose title translates to: ‘My country’s beaches: Markala Beach, Tangier Ep:2 (plage markala).’
A search on Google Maps for the keywords ‘Marqala Tangier Beach, Morocco,’ clearly returns its location on the map in northern Morocco, with multiple pictures of the beach, where the image under scrutiny is also featured.
A screenshot of one of the views seen from Google Maps
A further search on Google Travel brings up more images of the beach taken from different angles and marked as Merkala/Marqala Beach in Tangier.
In addition, several other sites have shared the photo, attributing it to Morocco such as here,here, here, here and here.
Does Zimbabwe have beaches?
In the post, the author claims this beach is in Zimbabwe, a landlocked country. However, they did not mention the specific name of the place.
A Google word search of keywords: Does Zimbabwe have beaches? returned that there are a few beaches, but it has only one such expansive beach: Binga Beach, found on Lake Kariba. However, the pictures of the beach are different from the image under scrutiny.
Conclusion:
The picture making the rounds on Facebook and WhatsApp groups claiming it was taken in Zimbabwe is false. The picture is of Marqala Beach in Tangier, Morocco.

No, the picture shows part of the Globe Cinema Roundabout on the road, joining Murang’a Road, Kipande Road and the Globe Flyover in Nairobi, Kenya.
Writer: Beatrice Amude Paulino
An image shared on Facebook purporting to show an overpass in South Sudan is false.
The image was posted on the Ruweng Eye page on September 30, 2023, and shows a road with a few cars along and a flyover, also known as an overpass. Multiple-storey buildings can also be seen in the background.
The post, which was captioned “Welcome to Juba, South Sudan”, attracted several comments, some with differing opinions, which prompted 211 Check to investigate.
A screenshot of the picture from the Ruweng Eye
Investigation:
A Google Reverse Image Search shows that this picture is of Nairobi, Kenya and has been used on various sites before.
On June 10, 2021, The Standard Media, a news outlet in Kenya, posted a picture of the overpass from a different angle. The image is captioned ‘An aerial view of Nairobi City from Ngara’, and one can see the overpass and the tall building with blue glass windows as in the image under scrutiny.
211 Check also found a Greyscale edit of the same photo shared on Pinterest and captioned: ‘Globe Cinema Roundabout, Nairobi, Kenya.’

Conclusion:
211 Check finds the claim that there is a flyover bridge in Juba, South Sudan, false. Our investigation shows that the flyover bridge is the Globe Cinema Roundabout in Nairobi, Kenya.

No, Congo-Brazzaville’s government spokesperson dismissed the claims.
Writer: Ochaya Jackson
A viral claim on various online platforms that a military coup took place in Congo-Brazzaville on September 17, 2023, is false.
The news of the alleged coup came after Congo-Brazzaville’s President, Gen. Sassou Ngueso, was reported to have travelled to the United States to attend the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly gathering in New York.
In one instance, an X (formerly Twitter) user posted that there was a military coup in Congo-Brazzaville and added that the country’s president was in the United States.
“There is a military coup in Congo Brazzaville at the moment. Congo President Nguesso is reported to be in [the] US at the moment. He’s been in power for decades. LETS GO!,” reads the post.
The screenshot of the X post about the coup in Congo Brazzaville
A YouTube channel, NED Media, also uploaded a clip about an alleged coup in Congo-Brazzaville on September 17, 2023, featuring a video of soldiers walking alongside moving military vehicles on the street. The video also shows a crowd gathering at the stadium that appears to have been taken in Niger when the public was cheering the military junta that took over power in July 2023.
Additionally, on September 18, 2023, another X user posted that the coup was ongoing and the military was controlling critical facilities in the country’s capital.
“There is a military coup ongoing in Congo Brazzaville. The 79-year-old President Nguesso, who has been in power for a combined 39 years, is reported to be in the US at the moment. The military is taking over key facilities in the country’s capital. According to the preliminary report, the coup is led by the commander of the presidential guard,” the post reads.
The screenshot of the X user tweet about the coup
More posts about the coup were also shared here and here where the post alleges that the commander of Brazzaville’s presidential guard, Serge Obua instigated the coup.
The screenshot of the Facebook post claiming the military coup
Claim Verification:
Following the spread of the claim, the government of Congo-Brazzaville, through the Minister of Communication and Media, Thierry Lézin Moungalla, who also doubles as the Government Spokesperson, issued a statement (archived here) dismissing the coup as fake news.
“Fanciful information suggests serious events are taking place in Brazzaville. The government denies this fake news. We reassure public opinion about the calm that reigns and invite people to calmly go about their activities,” reads the statement published on the government’s website.
Moungalla also refuted the news of the coup through his X account.
A consequent keyword search on X returned media reports quoting the Brazzaville government’s spokesperson as dismissing the coup attempt claims.
A further keyword search on Google for “Congo Brazzaville military coup news” also returned many media sources that quoted Moungalla’s statement. In one report by fact-checking organisation PesaCheck, journalists based in Congo-Brazaville also confirmed no coup on September 17, 2023.
211 Check also deduced that when a coup happens, it does not take long before the plotters announce themselves to the public, as in the case of Niger and Gabon.
Additionally, since September 17, 2023, when the coup attempt information started circulating on media spaces, no major announcements of the military takeover or the Brazzaville government foiling an attempted coup have occurred.
The only official statement from the government of Congo-Brazzaville is that the claims about a coup attempt are fake news.
Conclusion:
211 Check finds the claim that the President of Congo Brazzaville, Gen. Sassou Ngueso, was overthrown in a military coup on September 17, 2023, false.

The NHIF has disowned the poster and urged the public to disregard it.
Writer: PesaCheck
This poster on Facebook claiming that the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is on a recruitment drive is a HOAX.
The National Hospital Insurance Fund changed to National Health Insurance Fund after the amendment of the NHIF Act in 2022.
The advert has the branding of the parastatal and lists more than a dozen job openings which, if filled, will enable the NHIF to implement the country’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) effectively.
Additional information on the poster is that the positions are “on permanent & pensionable basis to help bridge the gaps between health sector and Kenyan citizen (sic).”
The vacancies are for, among others, clinicians, social workers, community health workers, accountants, nurses, surveyors, supply chain managers, laboratory technicians, secretaries, sales and marketing officers, drivers, and ICT officers.
A similar poster with a different application deadline has been shared in this Facebook publication.
Both posters require the job seekers to be holders of a degree, diploma, or certificate, be Kenyan citizens of legal age, and have experience in what is applied for, among other qualifications.
Further, the poster directs applicants to submit their CVs to a provided Gmail-prefixed address, which raises doubts about its authenticity.
Another red flag is that there is no information about the vacancies in either the Careers section of the NHIF website, on its Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram accounts.
At the time of this debunk, the NHIF had listed eight open positions and none of those in the poster is among them.
Besides, the NHIF directs job seekers to submit applications to nhif.or.ke-prefixed addresses and not Gmail.
The national health insurer, through a post on X (formerly Twitter), disowned the recruitment poster and urged the public to disregard it.

The Kenyan financial services provider has disowned the message.
Writer: PesaCheck
This screen grab on Facebook with a message, supposedly from Equity Bank to a customer, is FAKE.
Equity Bank is one of the leading financial service providers in East Africa. In July 2016, the lender was ranked the fastest growing bank in Africa.
The message reads: “Dear costumer if you don’t trust us please withdraw your Kshs. 86.00 you have been checking balance consistently.[sic]”
But is the message authentic?
To begin with, the text has typos. This is among the red flags for social media hoaxes.
On 9 September 2023, the bank released a statement disowning the post.
“This is definitely not a notification from Equity Bank,” the lender said in response to a user on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In the post on Juba Eye, shared on September 25, 2023, the painted dog in Tiger colours is claimed to belong to a resident in the Jebel area of Juba, South Sudan, and police are already searching for the dog’s owner.
According to the claim, the alleged owner painted his dog in tiger colours to scare away individuals from coming to his home to ask for the loans he had borrowed.
The post was shared 73 times, with over 1,000 interactions, over 100 comments, and some over 70 shares by social media users.

The same picture and claim were used by RED Pepper UG on the same day, claiming that the owner of the painted dog is called Mucunguzi from Kyeggwa, and police are already searching for him for painting his dog in tiger colours. This post gained 286 likes, 43 comments, and 18 shares on this platform.

While the two Facebook posts are satirical, 211 Check looks at the origin of the image in the posts.
The publication was done in Urdu, but with the help of Google Translate, it indicated that the dog’s owner decided to paint his dog in tiger colours to scare away monkeys destroying his farmland.
Similar searching was done using Google reverse image search, revealing the same results.

Kapoeta East County Commissioner says some houses were burnt by fire that wasn’t completely put off following a honey feast by visitors in the area.
Writer: Kei Emmanuel Duku
Video footage posted on Turkana TV, a Facebook page with over 39,000 followers, showing houses burning immigration and customs houses in Nadapal is false.
The video posted on Monday, September 18, 2023, claimed Toposa youth from South Sudan burned immigration and customs offices at the Nadapal border post between South Sudan and Kenya.
The Nadapal belt stretches 25 kilometres (16 mi) southward from the border with South Sudan to Lokichogio in Kenya. The village of Nadapal lies on the road between Narus in South Sudan and Lokichogio. The area has been the scene of violent clashes between Toposa and Turkana pastoralists, traditional rivals.
In the video, it can be seen clearly that one of the houses is still in flames while the other two, the roof, have been raised down by the fire, but the walls remain. Also, in the video, a group of people could be heard talking in a local language, and another man dressed in a cap and shirt walking. By the time of putting this write-up, the video had gotten 3.9 Views, 22 comments, over 170 interactions and 10 shares.
Screenshot of the Facebook post on The Turkana TV page
Claim Verification:
A day after the post was made, Eye Radio quoted the Commissioner of Kopoeta East in Eastern Equatorial State, Abdalla Angelo, who confirmed that there was “NO” fighting between the Trukana of Kenya and Toposa youths from South Sudan in the bordering town of Nadapal.
He, however, confirmed that some youth from the Turkana tribe of Kenya came to Nadapal to do a honey feast, but they didn’t completely put off the fire they had used for harvesting the honey and, in the process, burning some houses.
No credible media reported about the incident, and a search using Google Lens showed that only Turkana TV shared the video and the news.
Alternatives towards Peace:
The two pastoral communities have been in conflict for a long time, resulting in the loss of lives and destruction of properties, but mid-this year, officials from the Kenyan Government paid a visit to Torit, Eastern Equatoria State Capital, to find lasting solutions to the conflict
Similarly, as a way to foster unity among the two communities, Williams S. Ruto, President of Kenya and his counterpart Slava Kiir from South Sudan agreed to implement joint Infrastructural projects along the border to facilitate trade, movement of labour and unity between the two conflict troubled communities
Conclusion:
211 Check found the claim in video footage posted by The Turkana TV on Facebook that South Sudanese youth burned immigration and customs houses at Nadapal false.
Kapoeta East County Commissioner says some houses were burnt by fire that wasn’t completely put off following a honey feast by visitors in the area.

The picture that originated from Nigeria has been widely shared on social media but has no connection to the University of Juba or any educational institution in South Sudan.
Writer: Makur Majeng
A photo shared in a post by the Top in South Sudan Facebook page claiming that an excited man standing behind a lady is a student at the University of Juba is entirely false.
The University of Juba is an English-language public university in Juba, South Sudan. It was founded in 1975.
“Meet Calvin Pidor at the University of Jama Juba—the happiness. #TopTRENDS.” claims Top in South Sudan’s Facebook post, which generated over 200 reactions and 17 comments at publication.
But what truth does the above claim hold?
The screenshot of the picture used by Top in South Sudan
See more pictures below:-
These pictures have been trending on social media since April 2019
Claim Verification:
A Google reverse image search was conducted to verify the picture’s authenticity. This search revealed that the image has been widely used on the internet and has no specific association with the University of Juba or any educational institution.
The picture first appeared online in April 2019 and was reported to have been shared by a student of the University of Port-Harcourt (UNIPORT) in Rivers State, Nigeria, according to Naijaload and Naijacover websites. The individuals in the picture have no reported connection to the University of Juba.
Conclusion:
211 Check has found the claim made by the Top in South Sudan Facebook page, alleging it is the photo of a student at the University of Juba, false. The photo originated in Nigeria and has been circulating online since April 2019 without any reported connection to the University of Juba.
