This Facebook post containing an image supposedly of a Kenyan police patrol vehicle being ferried on a boat to Haiti is FALSE. “Kenya police heading to Haiti,” reads the post accompanying the image. The security operation is aimed at guarding critical infrastructure such as airports, ports, schools, hospitals and key traffic intersections. A reverse image search located a similar image in a Facebook post shared on 31 January 2022 by Kenyans.co.ke. The news platform also posted the image on X (formerly Twitter) on the same day indicating that it was taken in Lamu County.
