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
a$$ailants 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.
