Fact Check: Jay Sonza’s P1M Lies (video)

In yet another dazzling display of creative fiction, former journalist-turned-professional troll Jay Sonza took to social media to announce that all criminal charges against Pastor Apollo Quiboloy in the U.S. have magically vanished. Clearly, Sonza is now moonlighting as a master illusionist, conjuring stories from thin air for his boss, the head of the disenfranchised SMNI News Network.

According to Sonza’s latest tall tale, the U.S. courts have graciously decided to drop everything against Quiboloy. Unfortunately for Sonza’s P1M-per-lie gig, reality disagrees.

In fact, Marissa Duenas, an HR manager from Quiboloy’s KOJC, did plead guilty for violating US marriage laws in a deal for a reduced sentence. But Quiboloy? Still very much on the FBI’s Most Wanted List, his charges remain untouched.

It seems Sonza’s reporting has evolved into an entirely new genre—fiction—where facts are optional, and the truth is whatever keeps the paycheck coming.
