In a widely circulated video, Mrs. Favour Igiebor was seen tearing her husband’s passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, sparking intense debate online. The video shows her defiantly ripping the passport, with torn pieces scattered on the floor, and later walking away with her children. This incident has drawn significant attention, leading to public outcry and calls for legal action. Following the video’s release, Mrs. Igiebor addressed the situation in another video, claiming she had her reasons for the drastic action.
In response to this trending incident, Mr. Igiebor, the husband at the center of the viral passport-tearing incident, has provided his own perspective on the situation, offering insights into the events leading up to the dramatic public display. In his response, Mr. Igiebor disclosed that his wife had posted a video earlier that day, having gained unauthorized access to his social media account. He acknowledged that his wife had gone to great lengths to obtain the password and use the platform to share her version of the story.
Expressing a mix of frustration and resignation, Mr. Igiebor remarked, “My wife posted something, I know she has gone far because she is very smart. She has gone far to get the password of this page and she posted something this morning.” This statement suggests that Mrs. Igiebor was determined to make her side of the story public, despite not having direct control over their shared social media account, which Mr. Igiebor primarily managed.
He also implied that the situation had escalated beyond what he believed should be a private family matter. He expressed his intention to handle the issue calmly, indicating a desire to resolve the conflict within the family, rather than allowing it to become a spectacle. “Since she wants us to do it this way, we will work on it together. I believe she will get tired,” Mr. Igiebor said, hinting at his patience and willingness to see the situation through, despite the public nature of the incident.
Furthermore, Mr. Igiebor encouraged people to watch the full video, suggesting that the clips circulating online only provided a partial view of what truly transpired. He hinted that there was more to the story than what had been presented so far. “Go and watch the video; I have the full clip. You’ll see something. She did not know that I gave somebody my phone,” he explained, indicating that there might be additional context or information that had not yet been revealed to the public.
Ultimately, Mr. Igiebor’s statements reflect a complex situation where both parties feel aggrieved, and where personal grievances have spilled over into the public domain. His comments underscore his belief that the matter could have been resolved privately and his willingness to address the situation in a more measured manner. However, the fact that the incident has become a public affair has added layers of complexity to an already sensitive issue, involving both family dynamics and legal implications.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has initiated an investigation into the incident. Stay tuned as we bring you more updates on this unfolding story.
