Mrs Igiebor, the woman who Saturday tore her husband’s passport on their arrival at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, has broken her silence and explained why she did it.
Igiebor, a content creator known for sharing content about her husband and kids on TikTok, said on Monday in a video that she took the bizarre action because she and her husband have family issues.
She said, “This issue has been going on for a long time. And I have to do what I did. Don’t just look at my actions alone. I’m not a mad woman. I have gone through so many things. I have my own reasons.
“What if I had done this thing in Europe, where we came from? I don’t want him to go through much stress, which is why I did it in Nigeria. So many people at the airport that day saw me acting. It has been a family issue all the time. My husband even cannot speak about it. I suffered with him, and just like that, his family wants my suffering to be shattered.
“To be sincere, I did it so my husband would not return (to Europe). I have gone through pain. Many don’t know what I’m going through. My husband bought me an iPhone to calm me. It has been going on for years. He knows that I’ve not forgotten it; I’m just pretending to have gone past it.”
She apologised to Nigerians, who were angry over her action and to Nigerian Immigration.
According to Mrs Igiebor, her husband had neglected her for his family, adding, “My husband is a mother’s boy, sister’s and brother’s best brother. Making me the wife to be suffering. I did what I did for him to know that I’ve been bearing the pain.
“Those of you calling for my arrest should come and hold me responsible. I cry every time after three kids. They should let me rip what I have sown with him. My husband should come out and say what happened,” she stressed.
CHECKPOINTCHARLEY reported that the Nigeria Immigration Service on Monday launched an investigation into the tearing of a Nigerian passport by the woman.
