The Briton accused of sponsoring the #EndBadGovernance protest against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, Andrew Wynne, has affirmed his innocence.
He further stated that the Federal Government of Nigeria has no evidence against him.
Wynne who spoke with a Punch correspondent via WhatsApp on Tuesday, accused the Nigeria Police Force of illegal invasion of his Abuja bookshop and theft of his granddaughter’s bicycle during the July 7 night operation at the Labour House in Abuja.
He charged the federal government to address the poverty in the country which has worsened in the last 15 months.
Wynne said, “Yes, but as I am completely innocent, they have no evidence against me. The government just wants to blame me, as a foreigner, for the massive protests. They need to address the massive poverty that has got much worse in the last 15 months.
I am concerned for the detainees who have been arrested and tortured. The NLC needs to take action to get them freed.
I wrote to them on WhatsApp. They started talking but asked me no questions and then stopped. I have not committed any crime, and the police know that.
They took all my books from Iva Valley Bookshop, they ransacked my home and stole my granddaughter’s bicycle, and yet they still found no evidence.”
Meanwhile, an arrest warrant has been issued for the wanted Briton by a Federal High Court in Abuja, over allegations bordering on treason and terrorism.
