“Yes, he is claiming that he got 12 doses. I have constituted a three-member investigating team to find the truth.”
He used his national ID card and his phone number to receive nine out of the 12 vaccines. After that, he said he began using other forms of identification like voter cards and the phone number of his spouse and his friends.
It is not clear he was discovered but people believe that he may have been bragging about his many shots to some people who may have tipped off the local news outlets.
