Viral ‘transmission’ video was doctored — IGP

The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has said that the trending video where he struggled to read his speech at an event in Kano was doctored.

The IG gave a reaction in an interactive media chat via the official twitter handle of the Nigerian Police @PoliceNG #Askthepolice, where a twitter user @olajidenigeria asked him “I saw a video yesterday on social media about the Inspector General of Police not able to read his own speech. Some of us suspect it is a doctored video, can you clarify that please?

Thank you.”

Mr Idris responded swiftly; “Thank you for your question. Yes it was doctored.”
