Dame Patience Jonathan Humiliated At Port Harcourt Airport. Denied Access To VIP Lounge
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.
