The Nigeria Police has
described the photograph, which showed a senior police officer in the
act of fondling the breast of an unknown lady, as fake. It said the picture,
which went viral on the Internet, was deliberatelyfabricated with the aid
of Adobe Photoshop technology to mislead the public.
The alleged amorous
scene, the police authorities claimed, did not take place and
the officer had nothing to do with the woman.
The police said
it arrived at this conclusion after interrogating the policeman, who was seen
in the type of uniform worn by officers of the rank of Assistant Commissioner
of Police.
On the official
Facebook page of the police, the affected police officer
was quoted as saying,
“I don’t know this lady. I never took the picture with her.”
However, the authorities did
not name the police officer nor give the details of the command where
he is serving.
The police said
that though it does not forbid its rank and file to pose with members of the
public for photographs, it would not tolerate any display of affection for the
opposite sex in full public glare.
“An image showing one of
our officers in a compromising position with a lady has
gone viral. Please check the hands in the so-called picture that is in
circulation and you will agree that they were photo-shopped.
“Other citizens of this country are encouraged to pose for
snapshots with our uniformedofficers if they so desire, just as it is done
worldwide. What we discourage is public display of affection by our uniformed officers,” it
said.
After it appeared online,
the controversial photograph provoked widespread condemnation from many
Nigerians who have described the development as an act of indiscipline.
Lol....but that hand looks so real to me o.
