REVEALED: NLC President’s Interrogation Linked To British National’s Plot To Destabilize Nigeria

A British national, Andrew Wynne, aka Andrew Povich, has been declared wanted by the Nigerian Police Force for allegedly plotting to overthrow the democratically elected government through unconstitutional means.

BIGPEN NIGERIA (https;//bigpenngr.com) reports that a Nigerian, Lucky Obiyan, alleged to be an accomplice was also declared wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government.

However, police has linked the investigation and interrogation of the NLC President Joe Ajaero to Andrew Wynne who is being accused of plotting unconstitutional regime change and financing terrorism in Nigeria.

Addressing journalists at a media briefing, the police accused the British national and his Nigerian counterpart of building a network of sleeper cells to topple the federal government and plunge the nation into crisis.

Force public relations officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who made this known at a media briefing in Abuja, said Wynne rented a space at Labour House, where he established a school to cover his illegal activities.’

Adejobi, said, “The Nigeria Police Force has launched a comprehensive investigation into the activities of a foreign national and subversive elements plotting to undermine the democratically elected government in Nigeria through unconstitutional regime change and orchestrating violence across the country.

“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 violent 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.”

Adejobi said documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Wynne provided finance and operational guidance to allegedly topple an elected government in the country.

“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 violently storm police facilities and military barracks, anticipating a bloodbath that would instigate international condemnation of the Nigerian government.

“These acts are in clear violation of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011 and other relevant laws.”

“Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), IGP Kayode Egbetokun, while condemning the activities of the group, has since activated the INTERPOL tools and other global policing networks to support ongoing domestic investigations aimed at locating and apprehending the suspects at large.

“The IGP assures the general public that the Force will leave no stone unturned in dealing with and bringing to deserved justice, any individual or group threatening our national security and peace or promoting any movement with the motive of truncating our democratic government through unconstitutional means.

“We recognize and remain committed to protecting citizens’ constitutionally guaranteed fundamental and democratic rights to peaceful assembly and free expression.

“However, we advise citizens to be wary of subversive elements who weaponize and commercialize protests for personal financial and ideological benefits.

“Contrary to disinformation, the invitation extended to certain individuals within the NLC leadership has nothing to do with rights advocacy and activities of the Union leadership but is aimed at clearing the relationship between the individuals and Andrew Wynne who in addition to plotting unconstitutional regime change is also financing terrorism in Nigeria.

“Following the interaction between the police investigation team and the NLC President, there is now a clearer understanding of the focus of the ongoing police investigation and the depth of Andrew Wynne’s subversive network and activities.

“No nation will tolerate attempts by foreign elements to interfere in its internal affairs, threaten national security and organize and fund local elements to instigate uprisings aimed at destabilizing the country and engendering violent and unconstitutional regime change.

“The Inspector-General of Police appeals for the cooperation and support of all law-abiding citizens in the ongoing investigation.

“He assures anyone with information leading to the arrest of any of the suspects declared wanted will be appreciated and rewarded handsomely.”
