Favour Igiebor’s husband has disclosed that his wife did not tear his international passport as widely reported.
He disclosed this in a video shared on social media and sighted by Daily Sun on Wednesday.
The couple has been in the eye of the storm following an incident at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos over the weekend.
A video of the couple getting into an altercation at the busy airport following their arrival from Europe went viral.
As pieces of paper suspected to be her husband’s passport were scattered on the ground, Favour Igiebor could be heard in the video saying she tore it and had no apologies for doing so.
The video caught the attention of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), which said it was investigating and had invited Favour Igiebor for questioning.
Many Nigerians on social media charged the NIS to prosecute the woman for her alleged unruly behaviour.
However, in Wednesday’s video, her husband said his wife did not tear his passport as widely reported.

“I want to send a message of appeal to the public of Nigeria and the whole world also that what my wife tore is not passport,” he said.
He urged bloggers to establish facts before reporting issues.
“Please, she never tore my passport. My passport is intact,” the man said while sitting behind his two female children.
Reiterating that his wife did not tear his passport, he explained that they were merely acting a skit to bring attention to a similar incident.
“We’re doing a skit. It’s a skit. This is somebody’s story of what happened that we’re passing to the world.
“I didn’t even know that it would go (viral),” he stated.
He added that the NIS had sighted his passport and saw it was in good condition.
