Monday, September 2, 2024 -The Nigeria Police have placed a N20 million bounty on a British national, Andrew Wynne, and a Nigerian, Lucky Ehims, who were declared wanted on Monday for allegedly attempting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement on Monday afternoon, the
police said a reward sum of N10,000,000 awaits any person(s) with information
leading to the arrest of each of them.
The Police had launched a comprehensive
investigation into the activities of foreign national and subversive elements
plotting to undermine the democratically elected government in Nigeria through
unconstitutional regime change and orchestrating violence across the country.
According to the Force Public Relations
Officer, ACP Muyuwa Adejobi, following extensive intelligence gathering and
collaboration with other security agencies, nine suspects have been arrested,
who received substantial financial backing from foreign sources to destabilize
the country.
He said that preliminary findings revealed
they orchestrated and funded violent protests by disseminating false
information and engaging in other unlawful activities to create anarchy and
justify their illegal plot to overthrow the democratically elected government.
“Investigations have identified a foreign
mercenary, Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey), a British
national, who built a network of sleeper cells to topple the government and
plunge the nation into chaos.
“He 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,” he said.
The Police, therefore, called on the public
to assist in any useful information that would help their investigations,
saying if Andrew Wynne and Lucky Ehims are seen, they should be arrested and
handed over to the nearest Police Station.
