Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has arrested a woman identified as Favour Igiebor who tore her husband’s passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
Igiebor’s arrest comes shortly after the government agency launched an investigation into a viral video showing the female traveller destroying a Nigerian Standard Passport.
According to the agency, the woman’s action could be a violation of Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), which prohibits the willful destruction of Nigerian travel documents.
Recall, the mother of two, who’s reportedly a content creator had publicly torn her husband passport shortly after they arrived Nigeria from Italy on Saturday, August 10th.
Igiebor had said in a video which was uploaded on social media on Monday that she did it so her husband won’t be unable to travel abroad, adding that she was ready to face the consequences.
“To Nigerian Immigration, I am very sorry, but to be sincere, I did it for my husband not to go back because I have seen so many things, I’ve gone through pains, pains that cause me heart pains today.
“Pain that gives me a headache in the middle of my head. You don’t know what I’m passing through,” she said.
Mr Igiebor has, however, come out to deny that his passport was torn. He claimed that the entire drama was a skit.
