Wynne denied the allegations, claiming the police never invited him to address the accusations.
However, police spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi insisted that Wynne had been given the opportunity to come forward and prove his innocence, stating, “We have established offences against him, and his accomplices have been charged in court. Let him come and meet us to defend himself as a leader.”

Wynne, 70, said, “The police say I should give myself up if I’m innocent. I am innocent, but I won’t survive if I surrender. It’s not just fear of torture, it’s fear for my life.”
Given the current situation, he emphasised that he believes he wouldn’t survive the year if he returned to Nigeria.
