  "summary": "The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has extradited two Nigerian men, Mudashiru Afeez Olawale and Adebola Festus Adekunle, to the United States. According to the EFCC, they are to face prosecution for alleged sexual exploitation and sextortion of minors, which led to two suicides.\n\nThe EFCC's Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 facilitated the extradition, which took place on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The duo had been identified in separate investigations by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation into sextortion schemes targeting male minors, particularly those between the ages of 13 and 17.\n\nThe alleged schemes involved child sexual abuse material and financial demands, including the use of money remitters, gift cards, and cryptocurrency. The FBI investigations linked the activities of the alleged perpetrators to two separate cases involving American minors, as reported by Punch.",
