A woman, identified as Mrs Favour Igiebor, in a video circulating online, who tore her husband’s passport, has given reasons for her action.
She said she had been going through a lot in her marriage and decided to go to the extreme having been pushed to the wall.
Stating her own side of the story, Mrs Igiebor said her sacrifice of many years with her husband cannot just be “washed away all of a sudden.”
She said: “The issue has been going on for a very long time; I have just been dancing to the tune till I arrived in my motherland, Nigeria, and I did what I did.
“You have to ask what happened; don’t just look at the action alone. I am not a mad woman who would just come and act like that. I have my reasons; I have gone through many things.
“When it gets to your neck, you have to act. I didn’t want to make him go through a lot of stress; that’s why I waited till we got to Nigeria to do it rather than Europe, where I could have done it.
“Don’t make comments without knowing what happened. I have gone through a lot of family issues here and there. I cannot be suffering, I suffered with him, and just like that, they want my suffering to be chartered away just like that.
“Is it till when I die that you people know this woman did not speak out? Actions speak louder than words; I gave him my action to know I have been bearing it.”
Reacting, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on Monday said it has launched a probe into the incident.
It said the woman might be prosecuted under Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), which prohibits the willful destruction of Nigerian travel documents.
