Woman Reveals Why She Tore Her Husband’s Passport
Mrs. Igiebor, a content creator known for sharing family moments on TikTok, has finally spoken out about the reasons behind her controversial decision to tear her husband’s passport.
The incident, which garnered significant attention, was rooted in long-standing family issues, according to her.
In a video posted on Monday, Mrs. Igiebor revealed that tensions between her and her husband had been brewing long before their return to Nigeria from Europe.

“This issue has been ongoing for a long time,” she said. “I had my reasons for what I did. I’m not a mad woman. I’ve been through a lot, and people shouldn’t just judge my actions without understanding the full context.”
She went on to explain that her actions were motivated by a desire to prevent her husband from returning to Europe.
“What if I had done this in Europe?” she asked. “I didn’t want him to face even more stress, which is why I did it in Nigeria. Many people at the airport that day saw me. This has always been a family issue, and my husband can’t even speak about it. I’ve suffered with him, and now his family wants to ruin everything I’ve worked for.”
Addressing those who criticized her actions, Mrs. Igiebor apologized to Nigerians and the Nigerian immigration authorities.
She expressed that her husband’s neglect of her in favour of his family had driven her to this point. “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,”
While Igiebor did not disclose specific details leading up to the passport destruction, she suggested that family issues were a contributing factor.
Recall that Igiebor was seen in a viral video tearing her husband’s Nigerian Standard Passport shortly after their arrival at Lagos Airport on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
When asked about her actions in the footage, a visibly upset Igiebor responded, “Is it your passport?”
In response to the incident, the Nigeria Immigration Service has launched an investigation, as confirmed in a statement issued on Sunday by the NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo.
In Abuja, a man named Alex, suspected of being involved in ritualistic practices and internet fraud, was arrested for allegedly attempting to murder a hook-up girl named Olivia for ritual purposes.
The incident unfolded at a hotel in Wuse Zone 5, where hotel staff intervened after hearing Olivia’s screams.

They discovered her in a disturbing state—completely naked and bound with tape, her mouth sealed and her limbs tied.
SP Josephine Adeh, the Public Relations Officer for the FCT Police, addressed the situation, stating, “The FCT police command is aware of the video circulating regarding a lady who was criminally confined at Top View Hotel on September 17, 2024, by an alleged internet fraudster for a money ritual.”
Akeh further noted that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has taken Alex into custody but has not yet transferred him to the police for further investigation.
“The FCT police command is awaiting the handover of all parties involved to initiate a thorough and discreet investigation. We will provide further updates as the situation develops.”
In a dramatic turn of events, officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) attempted to arrest former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello on Wednesday night at the Kogi State Governor’s lodge located in Asokoro, Federal Capital Territory.
The operation was met with resistance from security personnel at the lodge, resulting in gunfire during the altercation.
Authorities quickly cordoned off the area, limiting access to EFCC agents and other security forces.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Bello has since left the lodge, accompanied by the current Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo. Following the incident, normalcy appears to have returned to the vicinity.
This latest attempt to apprehend Bello follows his long-standing status on the EFCC’s wanted list for allegedly laundering N80.2 billion. After months of evading capture, a statement from the Director of Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, indicated that the former governor had agreed to attend an EFCC invitation after consulting with his family, legal advisors, and political allies.
However, the EFCC responded by clarifying that Bello is not in their custody and remains a wanted individual due to the serious money laundering charges against him, as reiterated by spokesman Dele Oyewale.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has debunked reports of wanted former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello surrendering himself to the Commission.
This was disclosed in a statement on its verified handle on micro-blogging site, X, on Wednesday by its Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale.

It wrote, “Media reports today that a former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello is in the holding facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is incorrect. The Commission wishes to state that Bello is not in its custody.
“Bello, already declared wanted by the Commission for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest.”
