The Twitter handle of the Nigeria Police Force , @PoliceNG has come under intense fire after it was alleged to have photoshopped major parts of an image shared on the micro-blogging platform.
The image which was tagged “photo news”, shows a man and a woman who were arrested after six AK49 rifles were recovered from them. The tweet reads:L-R: Duleji Alhaji Abubakar a.k.a Ori jeje and Talatu Ibrahim from whom six (6) AK49 rifles were recovered.

But one doesn’t need to look too closely or be an expert graphics designer to get a feeling that something seemed wrong with the image. It does look like a badly edited piece of work and Nigerians didn’t hesitate to point out the alleged forgery.

“If the Nigerian Police official handle can brazenly photoshop weapons and claim they were recovered, imagine how many innocent Nigerians are wasting away in police cells across the country because the police said they are guilty.”

Sammy Desh, entrepreneur and reporter said.

Mr Desh isn’t alone in his thoughts as many Nigerians have swarmed the page to call out the police for what some have labelled photoshop at its worst.
