No, the image of seized used condoms being washed and prepared for resale was not from Moi University students.

False

The image of seized used condoms that have been washed and are ready to be resold is from Vietnam, not from six Moi University students who were allegedly arrested for selling them to clubs in Eldoret town.

The 324,000 used rubber contraceptives were being recycled for resale. Police seized the condoms from a warehouse in Binh Duong, Vietnam, in September 2020.

The condoms were cleaned and dried before being reshaped with a dildo.
