Read Time:1 Minute, 11 Second
On Monday, the police high command designated Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey), a British national, wanted for allegedly planning to topple President Bola Tinubu’s government.
The police said they had initiated a thorough investigation into how foreign mercenaries and other subversive forces conspired to subvert Nigeria’s democratically elected government.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police spokesman and Assistant Commissioner of Police, confirmed the information at Force Headquarters in Abuja.
He claimed that Wynne rented a location at Labour House in Abuja for an ‘Iva Valley Bookshop’ and founded ‘STARS of Nations Schools’ as a front for his subversive actions.
Adejobi informed journalists that documented evidence and confessions showed Wynne issuing directions and monitoring the progress of the August protests.
He added that Wynne provided funding and operational guidance to achieve an unconstitutional regime change in Nigeria.
“The Nigeria Police Force has launched a comprehensive investigation into the activities of a foreign national and subversive elements plotting to undermine the democratically elected government of Nigeria through unconstitutional means and orchestrating violence across the country,” Adejobi said.
“Following extensive intelligence gathering and collaboration with other security agencies, nine suspects have been apprehended who received significant financial backing from foreign sources to destabilize the country.
“Preliminary findings suggest they orchestrated and funded violent protests, disseminated false information, and engaged in other unlawful activities to create chaos and justify their illegal plot to overthrow the democratically elected government.”
