An unusual claim is circulating on conspiracy networks, suggesting that former U.S. President Barack Obama ‘was executed with a bullet to the head’ in 2020.

As usual, this extraordinary claim is not accompanied by any evidence, let alone anything extraordinary.
Barack Obama served as President of the United States from 2008 to 2017, as the first African-American to hold this position in the country’s history.
After completing two terms, he remained active in politics, campaigning for Democratic candidates in various U.S. elections, including the presidential campaign of his former vice president, Joe Biden, who was elected in 2020.
On January 20, 2021, a year after conspiracy theorists claim he was executed, Obama attended Biden’s presidential inauguration ceremony.

Most recently, on May 24, 2025, Obama was seen publicly during a surprise visit to a restaurant in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood.

The allegation that Obama was killed in 2020 is clearly false.
