Angry Wife tears husband’s international passport after returning from an overseas trip
A dramatic incident unfolded at Lagos Airport on Saturday when a woman tore up her husband’s international passport shortly after their arrival from abroad.
The act, seen by many as vandalism of government property, has ignited public outrage and prompted calls for legal action.
The woman could be heard responding in rage after being asked why she tore the passport, “Is it your passport?”
She later then told off her transfixed husband as she held the kids’ hands out of the walkway, “If you want to sleep there, sleep there, this is Nigeria, this is where you will be”.
One of the co- travelers on the same flight said the problem started right from inside the aircraft as they were fighting like cats and mouse without restraints.
Officials could then be heard consoling and telling her husband to calm down and not say anything in response to the outburst of the woman.
The woman’s actions have been widely condemned as both a public display of emotional distress and a serious offense, given that a passport is a document owned by the Nigerian government.
Under Nigerian law the woman was supposed to be arrested immediately as tearing international passport is an offence as the document is a government property and symbol of country.
Commentators on the issue are of the opinion that with act of the woman it clearly shows that in most homes and marriages it’s the women that are aggressive and oppressive subjecting men to all manner violence and humiliation.
