The NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, issued a statement on Sunday confirming the probe. The investigation follows the widespread dissemination of a video on social media showing a female traveler tearing up a Nigerian Standard Passport at the airport.

The video, which has raised public concern, features a woman identified as Mrs. Igiebor destroying her husband’s passport shortly after arriving at Lagos Airport on August 10, 2024. When questioned about her actions, Igiebor responded defiantly, “Is it your passport?”

The NIS has pointed out that Igiebor’s actions may breach Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), which prohibits the deliberate destruction of Nigerian travel documents, and outlines specific penalties for such offenses.

The statement stressed the NIS’s commitment to enforcing the Immigration Act rigorously to ensure national security and uphold the integrity of Nigeria’s legal and diplomatic documents.
