The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has extradited two Nigerians wanted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, over alleged sextortion schemes linked to the deaths of two American teenagers.
The suspects, identified as Mudashiru Afeez Olawale and Adebola Festus Adekunle, were extradited to the United States on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, according to EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale.
Oyewale disclosed the development in a statement issued on Friday, saying the two men were extradited to face prosecution over allegations of sexually exploiting and extorting two teenage boys in separate cases in the US.
According to the commission, the FBI identified Olawale and Adekunle during separate investigations into sextortion networks targeting male minors, particularly teenagers between 13 and 17 years old.
