HOAX: This page offering Ksh20,000 COVID-19 relief cash from Governor Mike Sonko is fake
A Facebook page bearing the name and image of Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and offering cash relief to Kenyans in distress as a result of COVID-19 is FAKE.
The ‘Mike Sonko Rescue Team’ page, which claims the Nairobi governor is offering Ksh20,000 relief, also has a follow-up post, informing users that the donations are still ongoing.
Users are asked to send their M-Pesa numbers via the page’s Facebook Messenger, so as to receive the cash directly in their mobile money wallets.
