The Nigerian man who accused his wife of tearing his International passport after they arrived the country has stated that it was just a skit.

He accused bloggers of trying to cause problems, stating that she never tore his passport.

A video went viral over the weekend, showing an altercation at the Lagos International Aiport after a woman "tore" her husband's passport.

In the video, the wife clearly admitted to tearing the passport.

The wife later published another video where she said she had her reasons for tearing her husband's passport. She added that she intentionally tore it at the airport in Nigeria so he would not be able to travel back.

In response, the husband also released a video of his own, telling the world that his wife is the problem. He then released an extended video of the altercation at the airport and added that he knew his wife would create a scene so he gave his friend his phone to film her actions.

Now, after his wife was picked up by Immigration officers and taken to Abuja for questioning, the man is singing a different tune.

He claimed the video was just a "skit". He then tried to turn the blame on bloggers for publicising the story.

He said: "I'm here with my kids to send an appeal to the public of Nigeria, to the whole world also, that what my wife tore, is not passport.

"Please be a blogger, when you're blogging, blog and blog well. Don't go and blog to spoil things, please.

"She never tore my passport, she never spoilt my passport. My passport is intact."

He added: "We're doing a skit."
