No evidence to show that Stoppila Sunzu is not happy with his tenant Edgar Lungu as indicated by title of Zambia Bulletin’s post

Misleading

Title of story claiming Mr. Sunzu is unhappy with his tenant Mr. Edgar Lungu is not supported by relevant content… story talks about something else.

Claim

On August 18, 2022, the Zambian Bulletin, through their Facebook Page, posted a story with a title indicating that Mr. Stoppila Sunzu is not happy with the tenant, the former president, Mr. Edgar Lungu, who is currently renting the property.

Rating Justification

Iverify Zambia’s fact-checking process has determined as misleading the title that Mr. Sunzu was not happy his tenant, Mr. Edgar Lungu. The Zambian Bulletin post is misleading as there is no connection between the title of the story in the post and the content of the story. While the title indicates that Sunzu is not happy with his tenant, Edgar Lungu, the content is based on a press statement by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Lemmy Kajoba in which he updates the nation on police findings into the burglary that took place at Mr. Lungu’s house. The title is therefore misleading.
