‘Police Photoshoped Crime Suspects’- Twitter Users Drag NPF

By Nneoma Benson On Dec 1, 2020

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) on Tuesday shared on Twitter an image of two suspects, a man and woman from whom six AK49 rifles were recovered.

It was supposed to be a success story for the police, but some Nigerians who saw the image were quick to bring out evidence showing the police had photoshoped the image to deceive the public.

But some Nigerians on Twitter who claimed the images were photoshoped, have called out the police for the alleged deception.

Some of them also asked the police social media team to go for more classes in photoshop.

Let it be known that the official twitter account of the Nigerian police force posted a photoshopped picture to misinform the general public.

The picture on the left is different from that on the right based on colour.

The background on the place circled white is different from the pictures background.

Zoom to the man's shoulder, you'd see a cropped line.
