Woman in viral video tearing husband’s passport arrested, transferred to Abuja

Ella Jeffery, the woman seen in a viral video tearing her husband’s passport to shreds at the Lagos Airport, has been arrested by immigration authorities.

The incident, which quickly gained traction on social media, has sparked widespread outrage and demands for legal action.

The video captures a heated altercation between the couple, culminating in Jeffery forcefully seizing her husband’s passport and ripping it apart.

The footage has been widely shared, drawing strong reactions from viewers who condemned her actions.

In response to the public outcry, immigration officials promptly detained Jeffery and transferred her to Abuja for further investigation.

Authorities are treating the case with serious attention due to the legal implications of willfully destroying a valid travel document.

“We are currently investigating the incident and gathering all relevant information,” stated an immigration spokesperson. “Destroying a passport is a criminal offense, and we will ensure that appropriate legal measures are taken based on the outcome of our investigation.”

Details surrounding the motive behind the woman’s actions and the current state of her husband remain unclear at this time.

However, sources close to the investigation have indicated that both individuals will be questioned to establish a clearer picture of the events leading up to the confrontation at the airport.
