Nigerian Presidency has spoken on the viral video of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who struggled to read a speech at an event in Kano.
In the footage, IGP Idris, who was in Kano on Monday to commission the Police Technical Intelligence unit in the state, stammered consistently as he struggled to pronounce words.
After failed attempt to get his speech right, he apologised to his audience.
However, the clip elicited online reactions as some Nigerians described the development as embarrassing and a shame to Nigeria.
Speaking on it, the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Diaspora & Foreign Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said the video must have been doctored by mischievous persons.
On her Twitter page, she wrote, “This video is definitely doctored.
“The error was made once , then special effects used to repeat it. What I don’t understand is why anyone would believe. Well, it’s a Social Media world.”
