It was a skit, my wife never tore my passport at Lagos airport, husband says amid reports of arrest

Mrs Igiebor who tore husband's passport at Lagos airport

Mr Igiebor, husband of a woman Favour Igiebor who went viral for allegedly tearing his passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, has said that his wife did not actually destroy his passport.

Igiebor made a video with his children which he posted on social media on Wednesday night.

He claimed that bloggers blew the incident out of proportion and that it was only a skit.

Igiebor’s new position comes amid reports that his wife had been arrested by immigration officers and flown to Abuja for questioning.

He said: “I’m here with my kids to send an appeal to the public of Nigeria, to the whole world also, that what my wife tore is not passport.

“Please be a blogger, when you’re blogging, blog and blog well. Don’t go and blog to spoil things, please.

“She never tore my passport, she never spoilt my passport. My passport is intact.”

He added: “We’re doing a skit.”

Earlier, Mrs Igiebor admitted she tore her husband’s passport, adding that she had her reasons.

She said she intentionally destroyed it at the airport so her husband would not be able to travel back, highlighting marital problems.

In response, the husband also released a video, claiming that his wife was the problem. He then released an extended video of the altercation at the airport and added that he knew his wife would create a scene so he gave his friend his phone to film her actions.
