About Rumour Shield NG
A civic tech tool built to make Nigerians harder to deceive.
Our Mission
Misinformation spreads fast — especially during elections, health crises, and economic uncertainty. Rumour Shield NG was built so that any Nigerian with a smartphone can verify a claim in seconds, without needing to be a journalist or researcher.
We believe an informed citizenry is the foundation of a healthy democracy.
How It Works
When you submit a claim, our system searches reputable Nigerian and international sources in real time. An AI model then synthesises the results and returns a structured verdict: True, False, Misleading, or Unverified — with links to the original sources so you can read them yourself.
Responsible Use
This tool is an aid — not a final authority. Always read the source links provided. AI can make mistakes. Use your judgement.
