A photo of Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed’s daughter identified as Firyal Nur with Africa’s fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala has gone viral on social media.
The photo is being shared with the claim that it shows recent visuals of Firyal amid backlash over the visa debacle between athletes and the Ministry of sports.
Users claim that she was among the 32 joyriders to Oregon who consequently caused visa delays for the Kenyan athletics team.
However, what we can confirm is the claim is false.
Social media users are resharing an old photo first shared by Firyal Nur on her Instagram page on May 7 during the Kip Keino classical at the Kasarani stadium in Nairobi.
She shared the photo with a caption: “Congratulations to the #KingofAfrica and the fastest man on the continent. 👑🔥🔥🔥💨 @ferdiomanyala@worldathletics@kipkeinoclassic.”

VERDICT
No evidence.
There is no evidence that Amina Mohammed’s daughters travelled among the said joyriders and whether she is in or out of the country.
