A dramatic incident at Lagos Airport on Saturday led to widespread public outrage after a Nigerian woman tore her husband’s international passport shortly after their arrival from abroad. The act, viewed by many as vandalism of government property, has sparked calls for legal action against the woman.
In a video capturing the incident, the woman can be heard angrily responding when questioned about her actions, saying, “Is it your passport?” She then dismissed her husband, who appeared stunned by the event, while holding their children and walking away, adding, “If you want to sleep there, sleep there, this is Nigeria, this is where you will be.”
Airport officials attempted to console the husband, urging him to remain calm and refrain from responding to his wife’s outburst. The woman’s actions have been widely condemned on social media as both a display of emotional distress and a serious offense, given that passports are considered property of the Nigerian government.
One social media user commented, “Hope she knows it’s a crime for destroying government property and she can go to jail for it.” Another expressed concern over the emotional decision, stating, “She just acted without even weighing the consequences.”
The incident has ignited discussions online, with some calling for the need to understand both sides of the story before drawing conclusions. Others have speculated about the dynamics of the couple’s relationship, with one user suggesting, “She’s not afraid of any consequences. This is not the first time she’s abusing him.”
The video has since gone viral, with the public awaiting further developments on any legal repercussions the woman might face.
