The woman who tore her husband’s passport, Mrs Igiebor, has broken her silence on the reasons she did it.

According to her, they have had family issues long before they return to Nigeria from Europe.

Igiebor, a content creator known for sharing content about her husband and kids on TikTok, made the revelation on Monday.

In the video, she said, “This issue has been going on for a long time. And I have to do what I did. Don’t just look at my actions alone. I’m not a mad woman. I have gone through so many things. I have my own reasons.

“What if I had done this thing in Europe, where we came from? I don’t want him to go through much stress, which is why I did it in Nigeria. So many people at the airport that day saw me acting. It has been a family issue all the time. My husband even cannot speak about it. I suffered with him, and just like that, his family wants my suffering to be shattered.

“To be sincere, I did it so my husband would not return (to Europe). I have gone through pain. Many don’t know what I’m going through. My husband bought me an iPhone to calm me. It has been going on for years. He knows that I’ve not forgotten it; I’m just pretending to have gone past it.”

The woman apologised to Nigerians who were angry over her action and to Nigerian immigration.

Igiebor further said her husband had neglected her for his family, adding, “My husband is a mother’s boy, sister’s and brother’s best brother. Making me the wife to be suffering. I did what I did for him to know that I’ve been bearing the pain.

“Those of you calling for my arrest should come and hold me responsible. I cry every time after three kids. They should let me rip what I have sown with him. My husband should come out and say what happened,” she stressed.

Although Igiebor did not provide specific details about the events that led to the passport destruction, she hinted at family issues.

Reporters earlier reported Igiebor, in a viral video tearing her husband’s Nigerian Standard Passport shortly after they arrived at the Lagos Airport on Saturday, August 10, 2024.

In the footage, an agitated Igiebor, when questioned about her actions, retorted, “Is it your passport?”

However, the Nigeria Immigration Service has launched a probe into an incident.

This was contained in a statement released on Sunday by the NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo.

“The Nigeria Immigration Service has launched a formal investigation following the circulation of a video on social media, showing a female traveller destroying a Nigerian Standard Passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos,” the statement read.

The NIS noted that her actions could be a violation of Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), which prohibits the willful destruction of Nigerian travel documents.

The act outlines specific penalties for such offences.

The statement further emphasised the service’s dedication to enforcing the Immigration Act strictly to safeguard national security and preserve the integrity of Nigeria’s legal and diplomatic instruments.

President Bola Tinubu addresses Nigeria’s position on nuclear weapons and calls for stronger UN action on nuclear disarmament.

Tinubu calls for UN action against nuclear weapons proliferation

President Bola Tinubu has called on the United Nations Security Council to provide stronger leadership in enforcing the UN Charter and impose sanctions against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Tinubu also urged the international community to pursue the total elimination of nuclear weapons, stressing that Nigeria’s national security does not depend on possessing nuclear arms. The President’s position was conveyed by Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, during a high-level plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York to mark the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. According to Channels Television, Ibrahim said the elimination of nuclear weapons remains the United Nations’ highest disarmament priority. He said Nigeria does not support the production or proliferation of nuclear weapons, describing countries and entities that develop or support weapons of mass destruction as enemies of democracy. Ibrahim called on countries to respect the UN Charter’s provisions on disarmament and the prohibition of the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of states. He said adherence to the Charter would help strengthen international peace and reduce the perceived need for countries to develop or proliferate weapons of mass destruction. The Nigerian envoy also conveyed Tinubu’s commendation to African leaders for efforts to keep the continent free from nuclear weapons testing and the production of weapons of mass destruction. He highlighted the devastating human cost of nuclear attacks, referencing the deaths caused by the atomic bombings during the Second World War. Ibrahim further urged greater international commitment to peace and stability amid rising geopolitical tensions. The UN meeting was convened to raise global awareness of the threat posed by nuclear weapons and encourage international efforts towards achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world.
