An aerial image circulating on X does not show a nearly completed affordable housing development in Kenya’s Kilifi County, according to a check published by FactCheckHub. The organisation reported that the photograph depicts a housing project in Nigeria.
The image was posted by the X user @bakhita_esther with the caption: “Kilifi county Affordable housing almost Done, The government slogan is its track record.” By presenting the scene as a Kilifi project, the post used the photograph to promote a claim about the Kenyan government’s housing record.
FactCheckHub said the post had attracted more than 120,000 views as of 24 August 2026. That level of circulation increased the potential reach of the incorrect location claim, although the supplied evidence does not indicate how many users reshared or accepted it as accurate.
The central claim is false: the photograph cannot serve as visual evidence that the alleged Kilifi County project is almost complete because the pictured development is in Nigeria. The evidence supplied does not identify the Nigerian project by name or specify its exact location.
It also does not establish the current construction status of any affordable housing project in Kilifi County. The finding is limited to the image’s identity and location: a photograph from Nigeria was presented on social media as a Kenyan development.
