The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has said it did its work as a responsible security institution as to the true motive of Briton Andrew Wynne and expects him to come forward if he is a genuine businessman.
Force PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi stated this at a press briefing on Tuesday in reaction to Mr Wynne’s Monday claim on television that he did nothing wrong and did not know he was a fugitive.
The police on Monday declared Wynne and his alleged Nigerian collaborator, Lucky Obiyan, wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s administration and placed a N20m bounty on them.
“He (Wynne) has been contacted several times. He has been so faceless. We went to invade that bookshop. As he asked questions, he came out. If you have a genuine business, are you not going to ask the police what we went to do in his shop or his office?” Adejobi said at the press briefing.
“Up till now, he has not shown up. We have been able to trace his private school. We visited his school; has he shown up? We have interrogated staff and people working with him. Has he shown up? So where is he and why is he hiding and speaking from hiding that he has no case to answer?
“As I said, it is not a subject of debate or argument. We have done what we should as a responsible security institution.”
Adejobi said the Zoom interrogation suggested by Wynne would not be accepted by the police based on the gravity of the allegations preferred against him.
