The police high command, on Tuesday, asked the British national declared wanted, Andrew Wynne, to come out of his hiding and surrender himself to the operatives of the Nigerian police.
News reports stated that the police also dismissed the claim by Wynne that no invitation was extended to him before declaring him wanted.
It would be recalled that the police had on Monday declared Wynne and his Nigerian collaborator, Lucky Obiyan wanted for allegedly plotting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
It also placed a N20m bounty on the duo, arguing that their offences range from terrorism financing, treasonable felony, cybercrime, subversion to criminal conspiracy.
However, Wynne denied the allegations.
He said he was not even aware he had been labelled a fugitive.
But speaking to journalists on Tuesday at the Force headquarters, Abuja, the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Briton was contacted many times and he refused to show up even after his workshop was invaded.
Adejobi said “He (Wynne) has been contacted several times. He has been so faceless. We went to invade that bookshop. Has he asked questions? Has he come out? Up till now, he has not shown up. Why is he hiding and speaking from hiding that he has no case to answer?”
The force spokesman dared Wynne to come out of hiding and face the wrath of the law like his accomplices, who he said had been arraigned in court.
“We have established an offence or offences against him, and we have even declared him wanted. His accomplices have been charged in court. Let him come out,” he said.
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.
