PRISON OFFICIAL SAY'S HE GOT FIRED FOR HELPING DIDDY OUT!

An ex-Bureau of Prisons official claims in a lawsuit he was fired for serving as an armed bodyguard to Sean (Diddy) Combs on a commercial jetliner.

Roderick Jenkins was merely "escorting" the hip-hop impresario when he joined him on a flight to Atlanta in 2006, carrying his gun, said lawyer Robert Valli, who filed the suit in Brooklyn Federal Court.

"My client is not a bodyguard - he's not the 'muscle,'" Valli said Friday.

The suit contends the BOP wanted to get rid of Jenkins because he suffered a disabling foot injury and was unable to do his job as an intelligence officer with top secret clearance.

Off-duty law enforcement officers are required to check unloaded firearms and ammunition in separate locked boxes in their luggage.

Jenkins said Port Authority cops and a Transportation Security Administration supervisor okayed carrying the gun in a duffel bag into first class, Valli said.

The BOP had no comment.
