  • Five-Part Series of DUBAWA Ghana’s Investigation into Expired Products

    A fortnightly newsletter that takes a closer look at the significance of truth and falsehood in today’s news stories. 

    A maiden DUBAWA Ghana investigation uncovers an unorthodox sale of expired products to unsuspecting consumers with dire public health implications. The company involved is Fareast Mercantile, now owned by Imperial Logistics, which is one of Ghana’s biggest importers and wholesalers. For years, Fareast Mercantile has supplied expired products (consumables such as biscuits, margarine, and non-consumables such as detergents) to some businessmen who also sell to retailers at a section of the Central Business District (CBD) in Agbogbloshie – one of the busiest market centres in Accra, Ghana. The alarm this investigation loudly chimes goes beyond the dubious business engagements by the company owners to the very survival of Ghanaian citizens – some of whom have already consumed or used these expired products sold at giveaway prices. 

    The investigation titled “Consuming Trash: Unravelling the multi-million cedi business in Ghana’s expired products” is segmented into a three-part text series and a two-part audio-visual documentary detailing the process of the investigations. 

    PART 1 – Consuming Trash: Unravelling The Multi-Million Cedi Business In Ghana’s Expired Products

    This first part shows how DUBAWA got intel on the dealings, proceeded to verify how true the allegations could be, and finally started unravelling the process of the suppliers, retailers, and shops involved in the business through months of monitoring all suspected parties. It also uncovers how cartons of one-year-old expired Mcvities biscuits were sold.

    Read the entire part here.  

    PART 2 – Consuming Trash: Unravelling The Multi-Million Cedi Business In Ghana’s Expired Products

    The second part reveals Fareast Mercantile’s documentation, e-mail communication, and business marketing and pricing strategies used in liquidating the expired products first to the businessmen at CMB and then to unsuspecting consumers. It also shows how DUBAWA involved the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, leading to the arrest of one of the suspected suppliers – a businessman.  

    Read the details here.

    PART 3 – Consuming Trash: Unravelling The Multi-Million Cedi Business In Ghana’s Expired Products

    After the initial arrest of one of the suspects, this third part details how the company tries to find the source that leaked all the information to DUBAWA and how the CID officer attached to the FDA confiscated laptops belonging to Imperial Logistics in order to stop them from tampering with evidence. This part also tells how the logistics and supply chain manager, and the warehouse supervisor of the company were invited by the FDA to assist in the investigations and the company’s attempt to deny the allegations made against them. Read all about it here.

    PART 4 – Consuming Trash: Unravelling The Multi-Million Cedi Business In Ghana’s Expired Products

    Watch and listen to, among others, how the suspect arrested admitted to selling  products that have expired for three or more months, and how the suspect has been engaging in the business for eight years. Watch the trailer of the audio-visual documentary here.

  • The FactChecker Ghana

    Circumventing the deceitfulness of cyber scams 

    By Maxine Danso

    Daniel Olugola was a father in need. A father, who was trying to solicit financial help from social media to help pay for the many surgeries and treatment for his daughter who was diagnosed with a sinonasal tumor. Yet, Olugola became the victim of online scammers who took advantage of his situation and diverted the funds into their personal accounts–an unfortunate situation of money that could have otherwise been sent to him to pay for his daughter’s treatments never reaching him. 

    His daughter died some months later. 

    Not all victims of online scams may be in situations like Mr. Olugola’s. In more recurring situations, money is not denied to you, it is rather extorted from you. 

    Besides the unfortunate incident of Daniel Olugola that Dubawa reported on, we have had to equally report on different manifestations of scams such as scholarship application links surfacing across social media platforms of West African countries Dubawa has a presence in (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Liberia). These scholarships are purported to be from reputable institutions, including the Commonwealth seen on both Ghana and Nigeria social media platforms; the University of Oslo and Abu Dhabi University seen on Nigeria’s social media platforms, and the University of Western Australia seen on Liberia social media platforms – all within the same period of time.

    Another kind of scams Dubawa has had to report on are mass-market scams purporting to be from telecommunication group, MTN (here and here), the World Health Organisation, online stores such as Melcom (here and here) and Jumia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and food and beverage companies such as Nestle and Coca-Cola (surfacing in both Ghana and Liberia social media platforms).

    Most of these sites were dishonestly offering what they would never deliver, in return for people’s personal data, passwords, and ultimately, money. 

    Falling prey…

    Sometimes these scams are so glaringly deceptive that you wonder why people fall victim. It is for such concerns, that an American-based neuropsychology professor, Stacy Woods, together with some colleagues, conducted research to understand this phenomenon. The research article, which was featured on the BBC, showed some common stratagems observed to be used by scammers that made some people easy pickings for them. In addition, Dubawa noticed a similar trend with scams in countries where it operates, which have been reported on… Click here to continue reading

    Recent fact-checks 

    In his capacity as the chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Authority, the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo went to Guinea on 17 September 2021 to have ECOWAS-delegated discussions with Guinea’s military leadership led by Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya which included the immediate release of President Alpha Conde and for elections to be held within six months. 

    Following this event, a Facebook user, Evangelist Adda Emmanuel, on 19 September 2021, announced in what he claims to be breaking news that Akufo-Addo has ordered for the immediate arrest of military men in Guinea because they attempted to assassinate him.  But this is false, as Akufo-Addo has neither reported on the arrest of military men in Guinea nor did military men in Guinea attempt to assassinate him on any occasion.  

    Several images and videos have gone viral on social media, suggesting that the Sunyani Municipal Hospital’s Maternity Block, which was commissioned by President Akufo-Addo in August 2021 was still under construction and that the project was started by Lordina Mahama, wife of ex-president, John Mahama. Both claims were, however, found to be false. The maternity block had been completed by the time it was commissioned by the President Akufo-Addo on 11 August 2021 though the project was commenced by the Sunyani Municipal Assembly and financed by the District Assembly Common’s Fund.

  • Dubawa Ghana’s recent fact-checking engagements

    It has been well over a month since we last let our readers in on our engagements, but we are back to give you a peek into some projects we were involved with while we were away. As duty demands, we have persisted with the fight against misinformation and have increased our capacity and reach – extending this duty to potential and current journalists in Ghana and across the West-African sub-region, by providing them with hands-on training on fact-checking, and equipping them with the necessary skills and tools for it. 

    In the past month, Dubawa Ghana has facilitated two major fact-checking projects – the Campus fact-checking project and the Kwame Karikari fact-checking and research fellowship – and both projects are underway.

    The maiden Campus fact-checking project launched with a three-day training workshop for 20 journalism and liberal arts students across seven tertiary institutions in Ghana. The project is inspired by the need to address some of the ethical lapses identified in journalism practice by offering students in tertiary schools aspiring to take up roles in the ecosystem the opportunity to acquire real-world experience in the journalism profession through verification and fact-checking.

    As they readily demonstrated during the training, the students have an unflinching committedness and enthusiasm to counter misinformation and amplify truth and are deliberating on other ways to promote the culture of fact-checking on their campuses. 

    Dubawa Ghana team and the maiden cohort of the Campus Fact-Checking project

    Similarly, the 2021 Kwame Karikari Fact-checking and Research fellowship has commenced with 26 fact-checking fellows and 17 researchers and post-doctoral fellows from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, the Gambia and Liberia after a two-week long in-person and virtual training programme

    Named after Professor Kwame Karikari, redoubtable media freedom advocate and founder and former executive director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), the Fellowship is also inspired by the need to tackle and curb the rapid spread of mis- and dis-information and further expand the art and reach of verified and accurate information to rural and urban societies, to institutionalize a culture of fact-checking across the globe, and to build knowledge around the menace of information disorder in Africa.

    Latest Fact-checks

    President Akufo Addo fact-checked on Ghana’s corruption ranking claim

    Ghana’s president, Akufo-Addo in an interview with CNN’s Zain Asher, stated that since his party took over government, Ghana’s corruption ranking in the world has, in his words  “gone up several notches”. However, according to the Corruption Perception Index (the world’s most trusted metric for assessing perceived levels of public sector corruption) report published between 2012 and 2020, Ghana has not risen significantly in terms of perceptions of lower corruption. 

    This viral image is not of 100km Ghana/Burkina Faso railway line

    A viral image of a railway line has circulated on Facebook with captions purporting that it is the 100km railway project linking Ghana to Burkina Faso, which the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Railway Development announced in 2019 to have secured a loan to construct. However, this claim was found to be false. 

    Fact-check: Ghana is not the second largest producer of cassava in Africa

    News reports, which have since been updated, stated that “Ghana is the second largest producer of cassava in Africa – a claim made by Banda Abdallah Khalifah, the Head of Trade in Services and Manufactures at the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, during a conference on financial and technological support for processing cassava in Kumasi in May 2021.  However, Dubawa found that instead, Ghana is currently the third largest producer not the second. This was confirmed by the claimant in our conversation with him as he further clarified that the claim was based on data from 2017 and 2018. 

    Viral image purported to be Accra-Kumasi highway false

    A Facebook user has claimed that the construction and completion of the Accra-Kumasi highway by the Akufo-Addo government. However, findings reveal that the photo making the claim showing the completed roadwork is a highway in Brazil, not Ghana.

  • Dubawa celebrates 2021 International Fact-Checking Day

    International Fact-checking Day and Dubawa’s contribution to mark the day.

    If there was ever a year fact-checkers worked around the clock, 2020 would easily be considered as that year. Faced with a global pandemic and its accompanying misinformation and a political and electoral season with its associated propaganda for some countries, fact-checkers were kept busy debunking all manner of fake news in 2020. The misconception of our work as censorship, enduring the days of verbal and legal attacks, the days of writer’s block, the days of no available sources to speak to on a claim, the days of burn out… We too, deserve a day the world appreciates the work we do.

    April 2 is International Fact-Checking Day, and what a coincidence (or not) it is to be held right after April Fool’s Day on 1 April – a day of facetious fake news, hoaxes, and pranks. International Fact-Checking Day (IFCD), a partnership between the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and fact-checking organisations around the world, is held annually and this year will mark the fifth since its inception in 2017.  

    To help mitigate the injurious effects of the COVID-19 infodemic on the public, the IFCN formed the #CoronaVirusFacts Alliance by mobilising fact-checkers from more than 70 countries across the world who submitted over 3,000 COVID-19 related fact-checks found in a searchable database. This initiative will serve as the main highlight for 2021’s IFCD in honour of the collaborative work of fact-checkers fighting COVID-19 related misinformation. To participate in this global conversation on 2 April on Twitter, anyone can follow @factchecknet or engage with the hashtag #FactcheckingDay

    Dubawa, which is a signatory under the IFCN, will equally be marking the day across its three West African countries – Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. Beside amplifying basic fact-checking techniques through videos on social media in the week ahead, the team would be hosting the general public to a webinar. 

    The webinar is intended to offer a human interest perspective to misinformation and fact-checking by providing an opportunity to victims of misinformation and fact-checkers to share their unique experiences with the public. It is expected that hearing from the ‘horse’s own mouth’ will lead to the much desired behaviour change required in fighting misinformation and encourage everyone to at least verify before sharing. 

    The panelists consist of fact-checkers who have been selected from verified fact-checking outlets in Africa: Dubawa (Ghana, Sierra Leone and Nigeria), GhanaFact (Ghana) and AFP (Nigeria) and a victim of misinformation, the former Deputy Minister of Communication and Member of Parliament of Awutu Senya West Constituency in the Central Region of Ghana, George Andah, who was purported to have displayed a gun at a registration centre prior to the 2020 Ghana elections.

    Although initially planned for 2 April, the webinar will be held instead on 1 April at 10am GMT on Dubawa Facebook live and Zoom, in consideration of the Easter holiday also happening on 2 April. What better way to spend April Fools Day than to listen to fact-checkers help you decipher the information you receive and to listen to victims of misinformation share the effects fake news has had on them, so you do not fall prey. Join us on Facebook live at @dubawa.

    False: The little boy in yellow is NOT the Covid-19 vaccine inventor

    An image of a man, woman and four children, making the rounds on WhatsApp and other social media platforms is being purported to be the family portrait of Dr. Ugur Sahin. The text specifically states that the little boy in yellow and wearing no shoes is Dr. Sahin, the Chief Executive Officer of BioNTech, a German biotech company, which along with its Pfizer partner from the United States, developed the coronavirus vaccine. However, this was found to be false.

Shortly, another report emerged that an 18-year-old traditional priest had also been denied admission to Dzodze-penyi Senior High School due to his religious beliefs. However, this particular incident happened in 2018, and not in 2021 as was reported.

    Can You Be Jailed for Not Honouring an Agreement to Visit After Accepting Money for that Purpose? 

    A post in circulation by Ghanaian social media users suggests that men,  who find themselves in situations of sending transport money to a lady to visit them without the lady fulfilling the promise or refunding the money  are eligible to file a case against such ladies for defrauding by false pretense. But legal experts have explained that in order to file viable cases on the basis of defrauding by false pretense in cases similar to what the claim in question suggests, certain criteria need to be met. Such cases are also considered on their individual basis, with considerations made on the ingredients of the case.

  • ‘Fake News’ And Fact-checking: A Year of Dubawa In Ghana

    Dubawa is officially a year old in Ghana and what an exciting and eventful year it has been!

    Our primary goal in establishing a fact-checking platform in Ghana was to contribute to the fight against misinformation and disinformation, by ensuring access to accurate and truthful information, and in the spirit of our motto, to ‘amplify truth.’ 

    Dubawa’s approach to addressing the problem of ‘fake news’ and increasing awareness of fact-checking has been multi-thronged: rigorous fact-checking, fact-checking training, and media and information literacy.

    Media And Fact-checking Ecosystem in Ghana 

    By February 2020 when Dubawa was launched, Ghana’s media landscape was largely pluralised with a lot more Ghanaians able to access more information on mainstream and social media and on the internet than a decade ago. While this is good for the country’s growing democracy and especially for freedom of expression, it also raises concerns about the increasing spread of misinformation and disinformation, commonly referred to as ‘fake news’, in the country. This is in spite of the much-contested Electronic Communications Act (2008) which criminalises the dissemination of fake news in the country. Offenders are liable to a fine of GHS 36,000 (about $6,250) and up to five years imprisonment.

    Through preliminary desk research and a Dubawa commissioned survey, we found that fact-checking as a response to addressing fake news was not mainstream although some media outlets engaged in ad hoc or occasional fact-checking. Coincidentally, by 2019 when the expansion of Dubawa to Ghana was conceived, GhanaFact, a full time fact-checking platform was launched and the Media Foundation for West Africa’s fact-checking project, Fact Check Ghana, which was vibrant in 2016 but became dormant sometime in 2017 was relaunched later in 2020. Dubawa was established to, alongside these existing organisations, deepen the culture of truth amplification in Ghana.

    With Ghana’s December 2020 elections, expected to be keenly contested considering the key contenders were a former and a sitting president, on the horizon, the problem of ‘fake news’ was expected to take centre stage. Taking into account the havoc wrought by misinformation and disinformation even on developed democracies like the United States of America, a quick and strategic response was needed. 

    Dubawa’s Interventions

    The key thing we did in furtherance of our objectives was to raise awareness about the dangers of misinformation and disinformation and the need for fact-checking in Ghana. This message was first sold to stakeholders at Dubawa’s official launch which was chaired by the Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ms Josephine Oppong and had the former Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, as the keynote speaker. The Ministry of Information was later instrumental in our Covid-19 misinformation fight as it served as a pathway to reach Ghanaians with verified Covid-19 information and fact-checking tips.

    Over the period, Dubawa organised fact-checking training for members of the media and blogging community and other stakeholders. Participants in our training sessions did not only share the knowledge and skills gained with colleagues but also incorporated them into their work. They were also instrumental in supporting Dubawa’s effort at countering misinformation during the December 7, 2020 elections. 

    Further inspired by the need to address the menace of misinformation and disinformation in the country, a six-month fact-checking fellowship, which commenced in August 2020 was organised. The fellowship was open to practising journalists in new media platforms (online blogs), newspaper, radio and TV stations, and researchers with the aim of providing an opportunity for journalists to acquire skills and knowledge in fact-checking; contribute to countering misinformation and disinformation by writing truth-based and factual stories; and also to institute a culture of fact-checking in newsrooms. 

    Dubawa’s fellows from CitiFm/TV, GhanaWeb, The Finder Newspaper, and Bluecrest University College over the period produced over fifty fact-check reports, explainers, and media literacy articles which were cross-published on Dubawa and their respective media platforms. The fellowship also addressed the lacuna of research around ‘fake news’ in Ghana and other parts of Africa, by contributing research on the misinformation ecosystem in the country to the body of knowledge in the field.

    From the onset, we realised the importance of collaboration. We worked with the knowledge that misinformation is widespread and needed to be tackled collectively by all stakeholders.  And we were right. Our partnership with the media, Alliance for African Women Initiative (AFAWI), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), and the Coalition for Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) achieved major results. 

    Within the period, Dubawa as signatories to the International Fact-checking Network (IFCN) contributed to the CoronavirusFacts Alliance which has brought together fact-checkers from over 70 countries, publishes fact-check reports in over 40 languages, and has produced over 9,000 fact-checks since the Alliance started in March 2020. Also, as a partner to Facebook and its Third-Party Fact-checking Programme, Dubawa contributed to fighting misinformation on the platform. 

    We are grateful to the numerous partners who have been with us on this journey. We invite you to join us if you are yet to.

    Hibiscus tea otherwise called Sobolo, sobo/zobo, according to a viral video, has been used by China to cure the novel coronavirus, Covid-19. The claimant, Nana Okogyedom Ntim-Barimah, Executive Director for Soul Health and Wellness Center, claimed the Chinese used ‘sobolo’ to cure the COVID-19 and called on Ghanaians to do the same.  

    In the video, Nana Ntim-Berimah refers to two articles that he suggests have information on the use of the flower as a cure for the coronavirus in China. Click here for full fact-check. 

    Dated, doctored and false: The facts about viral video purporting Akufo-Addo was caught receiving a $40,000 bribe as President

    A few days to the 2020 elections, a viral video with accompanying narratives suggesting the President of the country and New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was caught on video receiving a bribe. This was discussed extensively on mainstream media and social media by the opposition party NDC with the narrative purporting that Akufo-Addo took a USD40,000 bribe in 2017 in his capacity as president, in order not to sack Alhaji Abbas who is the director of Urban Roads.

    True! EC published Essikado-Ketan parliamentary results featuring 6 candidates instead of 3

    Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) came under criticism from a section of the public following the official declaration of the 2020 election results. Most of the criticisms have been about how the Commission has not been able to effectively undertake its clerical functions for the purposes of updating the public. One of such was an artwork announcing the result of the Essikado-Ketan parliamentary elections. Many pro-opposition Facebook groups including NDC TV and some commentators shared images to claim that the Commission published results for six parliamentary candidates for the Essikado-Ketan seat when in fact, only three people contested for the seat. 

    Dubawa’s investigations confirmed this. It was however deleted and a different one uploaded. Click here for full fact-check
