The Nigeria Police have announced a ₦20 million reward for anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of two suspects: British national Andrew Wynne, also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey, and Nigerian Lucky Ehis Obinyan.
Andrew Wynne and the Nigerian are accused of plotting to overthrow the government of President Bola Tinubu by Nigeria Police, on Monday.
In a Special Police Gazette Bulletin shared with journalists at Force Headquarters, the force accused the duo of terrorism financing, treasonable felony, cybercrime, subversion and criminal conspiracy.
“If seen, arrest and hand over to the nearest Police, or to the office of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Department of Force Intelligence, Force Headquarters, Abuja, or call 08035179870, 09133333785, 09133333786.
“A reward sum of N10,000,000 awaits any person(s) with information leading to the arrest of each of them“, the bulletin partly read.
The Force Headquarters Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had in a press briefing, stated that Andrew 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.
According to Adejobi, “Documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives and monitored progress of the August protest.”
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.“
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is alive, hale and hearty, according to reports.
This dispelled rumours in some quarters that the former President had died.
Nigerians and indeed the global community were thus enjoined to ignore the news of Obasanjo’s death.
It would be recalled that there had been news on the social media that the former President had passed on.
A terse statement jettisoning the rumour was captured thus, “The elder statesman is alive and actively engaged in various national and continental activities.
Ignore the death rumours”.
Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command, acting on credible intelligence, intercepted an unregistered MAN diesel truck at the exit point of Lagos State conveying forty-seven (47) sacks of military camouflage uniforms and eighty (80) cartons of drugs suspected to be illicit substances. Four suspects has been arrested and in Police custody
Preliminary investigation revealed that the military camouflage uniforms were allegedly being transported to the Eastern part of the country.
Investigation is ongoing to determine the source, ownership, and intended recipients of the recovered items, as well as the extent of the suspects’ involvement. Efforts are also ongoing to apprehend other persons connected with the criminal act.
