At FactWatch Nigeria, we are on a mission to dismantle deception. In an era where misinformation and disinformation spread faster than facts, we serve as a vigilant guardrail for truth.
We investigate, verify, and expose falsehoods to empower an informed public, because democracy thrives on clarity, not confusion.
A Verification Platform In Nigeria’s South-East
As the only fact checking platform in south east part of Nigeria, we serves a watchdog towards spread of misinformation and disinformation in the region. We also provide these fact checks in Igbo language.
Fact-Checking the Powerful
We scrutinize claims from politicians, media, viral contents, and influential sources, separating fact from fiction with rigorous evidence-based analysis.
Exposing Bad Actors
We investigate and unmask the architects of disinformation- whether state-sponsored trolls, partisan networks, or profit-driven clickbait factories – holding them accountable in the public eye.

When complex issues trend, we cut through the noise. Our accessible, deep-dive explainers equip you with context and clarity on hot topics.
Defending Digital Integrity
We track how false narratives spread online, revealing manipulation tactics and platform vulnerabilities to advocate for a healthier information ecosystem.

Every claim is vetted by seasoned researchers using primary sources, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), academic data, and expert consultations. We correct errors transparently.
Impartiality & Independence
We follow evidence wherever it leads, free from political or corporate influence. Our loyalty is to the truth, not an agenda.
