A recent claim circulating online alleged that President Akufo-Addo's statue had been torn down. However, a thorough investigation by fact-checkers has revealed that this claim is entirely false.

The Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition conducted a thorough examination of the claim, using reverse image search to verify the authenticity of the image. Their findings revealed that the image of the toppled statue was not, in fact, President Akufo-Addo's statue.

Instead, the image was found to be that of Confederate General William Carter Wickham, an American politician from the 1800s. Wickham's statue was actually toppled during the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States in 2020.

It appears that the false claim about President Akufo-Addo's statue was spread through social media, with some individuals sharing the misleading image and claiming that it was the president's statue that had been torn down.

The fact-checking investigation has put the record straight, confirming that President Akufo-Addo's statue remains intact. It's essential to rely on credible sources of information to avoid spreading misinformation and to maintain the integrity of online discourse.

In conclusion, the claim that President Akufo-Addo's statue had been torn down has been thoroughly debunked. The image of the toppled statue was found to be that of Confederate General William Carter Wickham, and President Akufo-Addo's statue remains standing.
