The Nigeria Police Force has declared British national Andrew Wynne, also known as Andrew Povich, and Nigerian Lucky Obiyan wanted for allegedly attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nigeria. The police accuse Wynne of building a network of sleeper cells and using a school as a cover to facilitate his plans.
Key Points:
- Andrew Wynne’s Alleged Role: The police claim Wynne, operating under the guise of an education institution, directed and financed efforts to destabilize the Nigerian government. He reportedly provided substantial financial support and operational guidance to his Nigerian collaborators.
- Lucky Obiyan’s Involvement: Obiyan is identified as Wynne’s local coordinator. Both individuals have reportedly fled the country, prompting a global search.
- Police Investigation: The authorities have apprehended nine suspects linked to the plot, who allegedly received foreign funding to incite violence and create unrest. The investigations are ongoing, and the suspects are accused of violating the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011.
The police are continuing their efforts to track down Wynne and Obiyan, as well as to address the broader network involved in these subversive activities.
