The Nigeria Police Force has declared a British national, Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey) and a Nigerian, Lucky Ehis Obiyan, wanted over an alleged plot to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s democratically elected government.
The spokesman of the force, ASP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this at Force Headquarters, Abuja on Monday, September 2, 2024, in reaction to the ongoing investigation of the EndBadGovernance protesters.
According to Adejobi, the British rented a space at Labour House, Abuja, for an ‘Iva Valley Bookshop’ and established ‘STARS of Nations Schools’ as a cover for his subversive activities.
Adejobi told journalists that documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives and monitored progress of the August protest.
The spokesperson added that the foreigner provided finance and operational guidance to achieve unconstitutional regime change in Nigeria.
