The Nigeria Police has condemned the actions of a female traveler who tore her husband’s international passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
Videos making the rounds on social media showed a female traveler, identified as Mrs. Igiebor, tearing her husband’s Nigerian Standard Passport shortly after they arrived at the Lagos Airport on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
Reacting to the incident, SP Josephine Adeh, the FCT Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, condemned the woman’s actions in a statement on X on Sunday.
“I strongly condemn the woman who tore her husband’s passport in a video that has since gone viral,” she said.
“Regardless of what he may have done, destroying his passport won’t change his actions or make him reconsider. As women, we should learn to control our emotions,” police PRO added.
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has launched an investigation into the 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 traveler destroying a Nigerian Standard Passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos,” the statement read.
