Alleged Child Exploitation, Sextortion: EFCC Facilitates Extradition of Two Nigerians to US

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has facilitated the extradition of two Nigerians, Mudashiru Afeez Olawale and Adebola Festus Adekunle, to the United States (USA) to face prosecution for alleged child exploitation and sextortion. The two men were identified in separate FBI investigations targeting American minors, aged between 13 and 17, who died by suicide after being subjected to online sexual exploitation and extortion.

The EFCC, in collaboration with the FBI, secured the extradition through the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, paving the way for the men's transfer to the U.S. for prosecution on seven counts, including sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor resulting in death. This extradition highlights the continued cooperation between the EFCC and the FBI in combating such heinous crimes.
