Mrs. Igiebor, who made headlines for tearing her husband’s passport at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, has shared her reasons for the drastic action. In a video statement, she explained that their family issues had been ongoing for a long time and that she felt compelled to act out of frustration. She mentioned that the problems were not new and had persisted since their return from Europe. She also indicated that her actions were partly driven by a desire to prevent her husband from returning to Europe.
Mrs. Igiebor apologized to Nigerians and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) for her actions, though she did not provide detailed specifics about the family issues involved.
Her husband has responded to her statement, suggesting that her remarks might not fully capture the situation. He revealed that he has the full video of the incident and plans to share it, which he believes will provide a clearer picture of what transpired at the airport. He also noted that some airport officials were involved in restraining his wife to prevent further damage.
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has issued a statement addressing the incident and has promised to conduct a thorough investigation.
