The Nigeria Police Force on Monday, September 2, declared a British national identified as Andrew Wynne, aka Andrew Povich or Drew Povey, wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow the President Bola Tinubu-led government.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyuwa Adejobi in a statement said: “Following extensive intelligence gathering and collaboration with other security agencies, nine suspects have been apprehended, who received substantial financial backing from foreign sources to destabilize the country.
Preliminary findings suggest they orchestrated and funded vi%lent protests, disseminated false information, and engaged 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.
Documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives, monitored progress, and provided finance and operational guidance to achieve unconstitutional regime change in Nigeria.
He mobilized and deployed several billions of naira to his Nigerian collaborators, urging them to mobilize the public to vi%lently storm police facilities and military barracks, anticipating a bloodbath that would instigate international cond+mnation of the Nigerian government. [SWIPE]
