Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, the Principal Security Officer to the wife of the former President, Patience Jonathan, was gunned to death from point blank range by unknown assailants on Friday, according to sundry reports.
A Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mr. Igbomie’s lifeless body was found in his car with the engine still running.
Assassins were fingered as being behind the shooting because the victim’s cell phones, wallets and other personal effects remained in the car after the shooting, untouched.
The deceased hailed from Okrika in Rivers State.
Until his death, he served at the Federal Capital Territory Police Command before he was deployed to the Presidential Villa as Aide-De-Camp to Dame Patience while her husband served as the Vice President.
He was later appointed as the PSO to Mrs Jonathan when her spouse assumed the presidential reins in 2011.
Reports suggest the late police officer 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 commenced 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 was quoted as saying.
