Fillers have emerged on why the former security aide of former first
lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP
Tamuno Igbomie was last weekend murdered in Abuja.
Security sources who spoke to News Men on the unfortunate incident
which occurred along the Airport Road said the killing was not
unconnected with his role as the former first lady’s aide.
DSP Igbomie, a former principal security officer to the then first
lady, was shot death and his body found in his Honda Accord car last
Friday with his vital documents, including phones, wallet and other
personal effects, ruling out armed robbery as motive for the killing.
The security source told News Men that the former aide was a very
close alley to the former first lady and must have stepped on several
toes in the discharge of his duties.
According to him, 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 and 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.
Another source averred that Igbomie may have been engaged in some
deals while acting as security aide and the people may have come for a
payback. He called on the police to investigate all angles to the
incident and ensure that the culprits are brought to book.
“Jacob might know something that could implicate some persons at the
probe panel that i 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 averred that the killers could have come from Rivers State
where he said, the former first lady played a major role with 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 believed to
have been killed by assassins who shot him at pointblank range in his
car and left the engine running.
