Tinubu commends EFCC over role in US sextortion case

President Bola Tinubu has commended the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its role in apprehending and extraditing two Nigerians linked to an international sextortion ring targeting minors. The commendation comes following a letter from the Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kash Patel, who praised the EFCC's contribution to Operation Artemis, a joint investigation targeting criminal networks involved in the sexual exploitation and extortion of children.

Tinubu conveyed his appreciation in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, highlighting the importance of international law enforcement collaboration in combating financial crimes.
