Wife of former President’s ex-security aide murdered

Firstclass newsline learnt that a deputy Superintendent of Police,
Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, who was Principal Security Officer to the wife
of the former President, Patience Jonathan, has been shot dead by
unknown assailants.
Igbomie's corpse was found in his Honda Accord car last Friday along
the Airport Road, Abuja.
The former PSO, who was married with two children, was believed to
have been killed by assassins who shot him at close range in his car
and left the engine running.
A source said the body of the DSP was found early in the morning with
all his phones, wallet and other personal effects in tact in the car.
"We believe Tamuno was killed by hired assassins because they did not
take away anything in his car. His phones and wallets were still with
him when his body was found in the car with the engine steaming.
"He was shot in the night and his body was found early in the morning;
we don't know if he was killed over a business transaction or
disagreement with someone," the source who served with the deceased at
the villa stated.
It was gathered that the deceased, who hailed from Okrika, Bayelsa
State, 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.
Findings indicate that the late policeman had just been redeployed
back to his former position at the FCT Police Command, where he was in
charge of posting of junior officers.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, confirmed the
killing of the policeman, noting that investigation had started to
unravel the assailants.
"Yes, a DSP attached to the villa was killed last week Friday,
investigation has started to find out the people behind the murder. No
arrest has been made yet," he said over the phone on Sunday.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Anjuguri Manzah, said the FCT
Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, had ordered an investigation
into the tragic incident.
