The Briton accused of sponsoring the #EndBadGovernance in Nigeria, Andrew Wynne, has accused the Nigeria Police Force of stealing his granddaughter’s bicycle.

The police had accused Wynne of treasonable felony alongside one Lucky Obiyan and placed a N20m bounty on them.

This came after the police raided the Briton’s bookshop located at the Nigeria Labour Congress headquarters in Abuja during the #endbadgovernance protest.

The man had denied the charge that he is plotting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s administration levelled against him by the police via a Zoom interview he granted Channels Television.

Now, he said, during the July 7th raid of his bookshop, and house, a bicycle belongings to his granddaughter was stolen by the police.

This, the fugitive said among others in a WhatsApp messages to Punchng.

It reads: “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.”
