A reward of ₦10 million is being offered for information leading to the capture of each suspect.

Force spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi revealed that Wynne had been linked to a plot to overthrow Nigeria's democratically elected government.

He disclosed that Wynne had rented space at Labour House in Abuja for an 'Iva Valley Bookshop' and established 'STARS of Nations Schools' as a façade for his activities.

Adejobi stated that evidence indicates Wynne provided financial and operational support for the August protest aimed at regime change.

The police are intensifying their investigation into the involvement of foreign mercenaries and subversive elements in destabilising Nigeria's democratic processes.
