The Nigeria Police Force has placed an N20m bounty on a British national, Andrew Wynne, also known as Andrew Povich, and a Nigerian, Lucky Obiyan.
The police had declared the duo wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow the democratically elected government in the country.
Addressing journalists on Monday in Abuja, the Force Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, accused the British national of building a network of sleeper cells to topple the government and plunge the nation into chaos.
Adejobi also revealed that Wynne rented a space at Labour House and established a school to cover up his activities.
“He (Wynne) mobilised and deployed several billions of naira to his Nigerian collaborators, urging them to mobilise the public to violently storm police facilities and military barracks, anticipating a bloodbath that would instigate international condemnation of the Nigerian government. These acts violate the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011 and other relevant laws,” the FPRO added.
He added that Wynne and his local coordinator, Obiyan, had fled the country.
However, in a Special Police Gazette Bulletin released on Monday, the police announced a reward of N10 million each for anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of the suspects.
It read, “If seen, arrest and hand over to the nearest Police Station, or 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.”
