In a shocking turn of events, a Nigerian man has come forward to apologize for a viral incident at the airport involving his wife, who was recently arrested and taken to Abuja for questioning.

"Dear Nigerians, what my wife tore at the airport is not my international passport, it was all a skit," the man explained in a desperate plea for forgiveness. "We never expected this story to blow up like this, please, we are so sorry, you all should forgive us."

The man's wife had been seen in a viral video tearing what appeared to be her husband's international passport at the airport, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation. However, the man claims that the incident was staged as a prank, which got out of hand.

"We thought it was a harmless joke, but we understand now that it was not funny at all," he said. "We apologize for any inconvenience or offense caused by our actions."

The man's apology comes after his wife's arrest and detention by authorities, who are investigating the incident.

"We know that our actions were reckless and irresponsible, and we promise to be more mindful in the future," he added.
