Former first lady, Patince Jonathan
Patience Jonathan, who was in Port Harcourt, Rivers State for the burial of her late Chief Security Officer (CSO), Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, who was killed by unknown gunmen, was said to have been denied access to the VIP lounge of the Port Harcourt International Airport.
According to the Tribune, staff members at the airport were said to have denied her access to the lounge on 'orders from above'
"Last Friday, July 17, the former first lady arrived Port Harcourt International Airport and made for the VIP lounge as had been the norm. However, she was practically locked out and prevented from accessing the lounge.
"All efforts by the former president’s wife and the few people by her to pacify the security agents at the airport to allow the protocol were rebuffed, as they stood their ground claiming that they had ‘orders from above," a source who witnessed the scene said.
