A security source, who spoke to Leadership, said Tamuno, was murdered because of the role he played as the former first lady’s aide.

The source also disclosed that DSP Igbomie, an indigene of Okrika in Rivers state, was a very influential player during the days of the political campaigning for the last election. It is believed that he must have incurred the wrath of many people who crossed the part of the first lady.

Speaking to the media outfit, another source affirmed that Igbomie, may have been engaged in some deals while acting as security aide and the people may have returned for a payback.
