The man involved in a viral video, which saw his wife allegedly tear his international passport upon their arrival in Nigeria, has pleaded with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) over the trending issue.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Favour Igiebor, the woman who tore her husband’s passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos was arrested on August 14th and taken to Abuja shortly after the government agency launched an investigation into the viral video.
Speaking, the man in the new video who could be seen in the company of his children, begged the authorities and the Nigerian public to forgive him.
According to him, what his wife tore was not a passport, adding that as a Nigerian, he cannot go against the laws of the country.
He said, “What my wife tore is not passport, she never tore my passport, she never spoilt my passport, we are doing a skit, this is somebody’s story of what happened that we are passing to the world. But I didn’t even know it would go viral.
“Please, I’m begging everybody, this is not passport, my passport is intact. Nobody should drag this thing to the mud.
“We are sorry, we cannot defile the law of Nigeria, we are full bonafide Nigerian, we cannot go against the law by destroying the passport of Nigeria, it is not possible.”
