Twitter account, with the username Nana Zora, claiming to be Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia’s official account is FAKE.

Matubia acts as Nana in a Kenyan soap opera, Zora, that airs on Citizen TV from Monday to Friday starting at 7:30 pm.

The account @nanazora has 6,354 followers, but some tweets shared by the account are questionable.

A case in point is this tweet posted on 18 October 2021. It claims the actress is looking for a man who does not need sexual favours in return. Other questionable tweets are seen hereherehere, and here.

Matubia, through her official Twitter account, @jmatubia, flagged @nanazora_ as a fake account.

“The below account is not mine, all my social media I go by the name “Jackie Matubia” Kindly help me report this account kindly repost,” the actress clarified in a tweet on 19 October 2021.

PesaCheck also contacted Matubia via email, and she reiterated that she does not run the Twitter account we are fact-checking.

“The Twitter account ‘nanaZora’ is impersonating me. My official Twitter account is Jackie Matubia. The account nanazora is really destroying my image as a public figure,” Matubia wrote in an email to this fact-checker.

PesaCheck has looked into a Twitter account with the username Nana Zora, claiming to be Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia’s official account and finds it to be FAKE.
