A Nigerian man, whose wife made headlines after tearing up what appeared to be his international passport at the Lagos airport, has issued a public apology, clarifying that the incident was staged as a skit.
The couple had sparked outrage online after a video circulated showing the wife angrily ripping apart what many believed to be her husband’s international passport upon their return from overseas. The dramatic scene quickly went viral, leading to widespread criticism.
Following the incident, authorities apprehended the wife for questioning regarding her actions. In response to the uproar, the husband took to social media to explain the situation, apologizing to Nigerians and insisting that the entire episode was scripted and not real. He assured the public that the document torn in the video was not actually his international passport.
Despite the apology, the revelation that the incident was staged as a skit has sparked further backlash, with many netizens criticizing the couple for their actions and questioning the appropriateness of such content.
