IGP Idris says 'stammering' video was doctored, releases 'original' video

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has denied a viral video that shows him struggling to read from a prepared speech.

Mr Idris was in Kano on Monday to commission the Force Technical Intelligence Unit.

A footage taken as the police chief was reading from a prepared speech at the event showed him struggling to pronounce words. It surfaced on the Internet Wednesday afternoon.

The video was “doctored’, Mr Idris said in a live interaction with Nigerians on Twitter Thursday afternoon.

Several requests to the police to produce what they deemed a genuine version of the video but received no response as at Thursday night. See interaction between the Twitter user and Police Force below.

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.
