Why Patience Jonathan’s Security Aide Was Murdered

  
Fresh details have emerged following
the death of DSP Tamuno Jacob
Igbomie, a former security aide to
Patience Jonathan.
A security source, who spoke to
Leadership, said Tamuno, was
murdered because of the role he
played as the former first lady’s
aide.
It was gathered that DSP Igbomie,
who was killed along Airport road,
Abuja, was a very close aide to
Patience Jonathan and had stepped
on several toes in the discharge of
his duties as principal security
officer to the former first lady.
The source also disclosed that DSP
Igbomie, an indigene of Okrika in
Rivers state, was a very influential
player during the days of the
political campaigning for the last
election. It is believed that he must
have incurred the wrath of many
people who crossed the part of the
first lady.
“The killing cannot be unconnected
with his previous appointment as the
PSO to our former president wife.
They have started killing people who
knew about their dirty deals. It shows
that more people close to the former
president should watch their backs.
Those people act like mafia and they
will go to any length to have their
way,” he said.
Speaking to the media outfit,
another source affirmed that
Igbomie, may have been engaged in
some deals while acting as security
aide and the people may have
returned for a payback.
He called on the police to investigate
all angles to the incident and ensure
that the murderers are brought to
book.
Jacob might know something that
could implicate some persons at the
probe panel that is about to be
constituted. He might have picked up
some implicating evidence against
some powerful people when he was
very close to power. He could have
done some deals with them which
they feel might implicate them,” the
source said.
The source further added that the
killers could have come from Rivers
state where the former first lady
played a major role in the crisis that
erupted in the state during the last
general election.
“All the killings that went on in
Rivers State by evil men in their
desperation for powers may not go
unpunished. All those responsible for
the killing of innocent people during
the election all because of politics
will definitely be punished,” the
source said.
The former PSO, who was married
with two children, was killed by
assassins who shot him at point-
blank range in his car and left the
engine running.
Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, was serving
at the Federal Capital Territory
Police Command before he was
deployed to the Presidential Villa as
Aide-De-Camp to Patience when her
husband was the Vice President.
He was later appointed as the PSO to
Patience when her husband became
the President in 2011.
It was gathered that the late
policemen had just been redeployed
back to his former position at the
FCT Police Command, where he was
in charge of posting of junior
officers before his demise.
