The Nigeria Police Force has declared Andrew Wynne, also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey, a British national, wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s government.
The police launched a comprehensive investigation into the activities of foreign mercenaries and subversive elements attempting to destabilise Nigeria’s democratically elected government.
According to Force Spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner of Police Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Wynne rented a space at Labour House, Abuja, for an ‘Iva Valley Bookshop’ and established the ‘STARS of Nations Schools’ as a cover for his activities.
“Documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives and monitored progress of the August protest,” Adejobi said during a press briefing at Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The police disclosed that nine suspects, who received substantial financial backing from foreign sources, have been apprehended.
Adejobi added, “Preliminary findings suggest they orchestrated and funded violent protests, disseminated false information, and engaged in other unlawful activities to create anarchy and justify their illegal plot to overthrow the government.”
