The woman who tore her husband’s international passport upon arriving at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, has given reasons for her actions.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that a video of a woman who tore the passport of her husband went viral social media platforms.
The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, in a statement on Sunday, said it is already investigating the matter, disclosing that the woman had been invited.
Speaking in an interview conducted by an online TV, @JejojaFamily TV, the woman said she has endured a lot of pain in her marriage.
While dismissing those who insulted her on social media, the woman said she remained unperturbed by their judgement, insisting that she’s not a mad woman.
She said: “These issues have been going on for a very long time. I was just dancing to the tune till I arrive my motherland, Nigeria, which it just happened, and I did what I did.”
“I am not a mad woman who would just come and act like that. I have my reasons. I have gone through so many things. So many of you just commenting on the video, I am seeing so many comments, friends calling me, those that have never called me for ages are calling me, those that have heard from me 20 years ago are calling me. I am not like that.
“So many of you commenting, what if I had done this thing in Europe, where we were coming from. Because I don’t want him to go through a lot of stress, that’s why I did it in Nigeria.
“So I don’t care about what people are writing because if you don’t know what is happening, don’t just comment on what you don’t know, you have to know how to come into an issue. So many people at the airport that day saw me. Those who have thinking faculty were calm to ask me, wanting to know what happened.
“Do you think I will just come up and tear his passport like that? No. I don’t have to do that. I have gone through a lot of things. Family issues here and there every time. My husband cannot speak. It took me a long time because he is the one controlling my page for me. He is the one handling my page for me. He’s the one that has everything. So I had to go into to because my email was attached to it and his email too was attached to it. So I had to go and look for it to get this passport because I know even he himself did not know that I would go to this extent.
“I suffered with this, my husband. I know how many years I suffered with him and just like that, they just want my suffering to be chartered away (sic). Where is it done? I know men will never accept it. But those men who have sisters who have gone through this thing I’m going through now will understand, but other men would not understand.
“So those of you who are saying she should be arrested,come and hold me responsible. I don’t understand, for what reason? I know the pains I’m passing through. Look at my eyes I cry everyday, after three kids. Then one man would now want to send me back to where I do not know. I want to reap what I have sowed with him, that’s all I have to say. If he knows he has the mind let him come out and say what’s happening.”
