Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s team investigated the claim recently circulated with the photo and found it misleading. The photo is outdated; Köksal Baba himself shared the photo on Dec. 08, 2021, on his official Instagram account while traveling to Istanbul.
The account that shared the recently circulated photo on Twitter is fake. It’s not an official account owned by Köksal Baba himself.
Köksal Baba never mentioned in any of his official social media accounts that he is or will be traveling to Egypt.
