Barely two months
after the exit of her husband from office, former First Lady and wife of
immediate past president, Dame Patience Jonathan has allegedly suffered
ignominy and molestation at the hands of security operatives and aviation
officials at the Port Harcourt International airport.
Dame Jonathan, who was on her way to the burial of her
late Chief Security Officer (CSO), Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police, was on Wednesday prevented from entering the VIP
Lounge of the airport, a privilege she had enjoyed in the last 16 years.
The former First Lady arrived Port Harcourt International
Airport and made for the VIP lounge as had been the norm and should still be
accorded her given her status in the society. However, she was practically
locked out and prevented from accessing the lounge.
An eye witness, who narrated the incident, said that
efforts by the former president’s wife and her personal aides to pacify the
security agents at the airport to allow the long known protocol etiquette stand
were rebuffed as they stood their ground, insisting that they were acting on
orders from Abuja,
New Telegraph further learnt that on her return from the
burial, the same drama played out, prompting observers to ask if the presidency
could give such a directive against the personality and family of the immediate
past president.
The deceased former CSO to Patience Jonathan was
allegedly shot dead by unknown assailants about three weeks ago.
Igbomie’s corpse was found in his Honda Accord car along
Airport Road, Abuja with all his phones, wallet and other personal effects in
the car untouched.
