The Plot to Topple Tinubu Government unravels, as British National Named as Key Conspirator

A British national, Andrew Wynne, has been branded as a “wanted man” by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for his alleged role in a sinister plot to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s democratically-elected government through unconstitutional means.

The NPF’s spokesperson, ASP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that Wynne had set up shop under the guise of “Iva Valley Bookshop” and “STARS of Nations Schools” in Abuja, which were apparently used as fronts for his subversive operations.

Acting on extensive intelligence and collaborating with other security agencies, the NPF carried out a sweeping investigation, arresting nine suspects who had been implicated in the plot and had reportedly received sizable funds from foreign sources.

The suspects were believed to have masterminded violent protests, disseminated misleading information, and engaged in other illegal activities to foment unrest and justify their illicit scheme to topple the government.

The police spokesperson disclosed that Wynne was now a person of interest, stating, “Andrew Wynne, also known as Andrew Povich or Drew Povey, is now a wanted person. The recent turn of events follows the high-profile arrests made by the Department of State Services (DSS) of several Polish individuals during a protest in Kano.

Though Polish officials vehemently denied any involvement of their citizens in the demonstration, where flags were displayed, the individuals were released after weeks of detention.

These occurrences, coupled with the revelation of Wynne’s alleged plot, have cast a suspicious shadow over the presence of foreign nationals within Nigeria.

Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was summoned by the police regarding Wynne’s residence at Labour House in Abuja.

The arrest warrants for Wynne, and the broader investigation into the alleged plot, come at a delicate juncture for Nigeria, as President Tinubu’s administration seeks to solidify its hold on power and maintain stability within the country.

These developments serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by Nigeria in maintaining the integrity of its democratic institutions and preserving the safety and security of its citizens.

With the police force stepping up its efforts to root out potential threats and foreign interference, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and whether the alleged conspirators will be brought to justice.

Amidst growing public concern over the country’s security and stability, Nigeria finds itself at a crossroads, where swift and decisive action is needed to prevent further erosion of trust and undermine efforts to foster growth and development.

The recent revelations serve as a chilling reminder of the fragility of democratic governance, underscoring the critical importance of safeguarding against internal and external threats that may seek to undermine the nation’s democratic values and institutions.
