Mrs. Igiebor, the Nigerian woman who went viral on Sunday, August 11, 2023, after being filmed tearing her husband’s passport at Lagos airport, has spoken out about the incident.
In a TikTok video, Mrs. Igiebor explained that her actions were driven by the difficulties her husband has been causing her in Italy, where they are based. She admitted that the stress has taken a toll on her health, leading her to tear his passport to prevent him from leaving Nigeria.
Addressing the backlash, she said, "I am coming across a lot of comments, people insulting me, even my fellow gender who do not understand. I am not supposed to do what I did. I know that is where so many people got me. Why will I tear his passport? It is against Nigerian law. I know that. To the Nigerian Immigration, I am very sorry. I did it for my husband not to go back because I have seen so many things. I have gone through pain, pain that causes me heartache today, pain that gives me a headache at the middle of my head. You do not know what I am going through."
The Nigeria Immigration Service has launched an investigation into the matter, stating that if she is found guilty, she will face the appropriate penalties for such a crime.
However, some speculations suggest that the couple may have staged the incident to gain attention on social media.
