    The police high command has promised to reward any Nigerian who facilitates the arrest of Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey), a British national declared wanted, on Monday morning.

    Daily Trust reports that apart from Wynne, who was declared wanted, the Force also declared one Lucky Ehis Obinyan, wanted.

    Earlier, the force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi told journalists that the Force has specifically launched a comprehensive investigation on how foreign mercenaries and those it described as subversive elements plotted to overthrow the democratically-elected in Nigeria.

    He disclosed that the British national 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, an Assistant Commissioner Commissioner of Police, also revealed that documentary evidence and confessions revealed that Andrew Wynne issued directives and monitored progress of the August protest.

    The senior police officer stressed that the foreigner provided finance and operational guidance to achieve unconstitutional regime change in Nigeria.
