Emerging story
A video widely circulating online claims a werewolf was found and killed in Nigeria.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found that the werewolf seen in the viral clip presents a work of art by artist Joseph Rob Cobasky for an upcoming film.
The dubbed-over viral video seems to be a clip from a Portuguese short film called Lobisomem Morto a Tiros.
The creature in the video is not real and made by Cobasky, a freelance artist and sculptor. It is not a real creature shot dead in Nigeria.
