….I Tore My Husband’s Passport To Stop Him From Leaving Nigeria
Meanwhile, in another development, the offender was spotted in another video that has now gone viral explaining that she tore her husband’s standard passport to stop him from leaving Nigeria.
The lady, identified as Favour Igiebor, also lamented that her husband caused her a lot of trouble in Italy, where they resided, adding that his actions negatively impacted her health.

“I have passed through many challenges in my marriage, prompting my action. You must ask what happened; don’t just look at the action alone. I am not a mad woman who would just come and act like that. I have my reasons; I have gone through many things,” she stated.
