A New York Post article reports on a DR Congo fan named Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, also referred to as Lumumba Vea, who allegedly remains motionless with one arm raised throughout matches as a tribute to Patrice Lumumba. The same article contains multiple factual inconsistencies, including an impossible 2026 match date. Historical details on Lumumba and Congolese independence align with established records but remain tied to a single low-quality source.
