Lee Funeral Home was trending for the better part of Friday morning as speculation was rife that a VVIP's body had been taken to the parlour. Some netizens went ahead to share pictures of security personnel at the entrance but a fact check by the Standard Entertainment team revealed that the photos had been taken a while back.

Speaking to us in an interview, a source at the funeral home refuted claims that a VVIP had been taken to the facility and urged Kenyans to stop spreading unverified information. “There is no heavy police presence at the facility. Everyone has been calling to ask if a high-ranking government official has been brought here but I can confirm to you that there is none. Those spreading such falsehood should physically come and check whether there is any unusual activity,” he said.
