The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has praised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its role in dismantling financially motivated sextortion networks targeting minors. The commendation came via a letter from FBI Director Kash Patel to EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, addressed late Wednesday via the commission's X account.
The FBI director cited Operation Artemis, an international collaboration, which led to the arrest and extradition of two suspects facing federal charges in the United States. The suspects, Adebola Adekunle and Mudashiru Olawale, are alleged to have sexually exploited and extorted minors. They were extradited to the US in August 2026, where they face charges.
Patel appreciated the EFCC's collaboration and dedication to international law enforcement efforts, praising their specific role in apprehending the suspects and facilitating their extradition.
