The Nigeria Police Force has been called out after it shared a picture showing some criminals paraded after they were arrested.
The picture shows Duleji Alhaji Abubakar aka Orijeje and Talatu Ibrahim who they say they recovered six AK 49 riffles from.
The picture which the police tweeted has been described as a photoshopped picture by BBC correspondent Stephanie Hegarty.
She wrote: “Nigerian Police have tweeted a picture with clear signs of having been photoshopped – claiming to show two suspects with arms haul. See drastic colour differences, white background under mans arm, lack of reflection, blur around the weapons… Tweet has been up for 7hrs now.”
