EFCC secures siblings’ extradition to US over-exploitation, ‘sextortion’

The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes, on Sunday, August 13, 2023, facilitated the extradition of one Samuel Ogoshi and his brother, Samson Ogoshi, to the United States of America to face prosecution for sexually extorting numerous young men and teenage boys in the Western District of Michigan and across the US.

The anti-graft commission had, sometime in May 2023, initiated the extradition proceedings at the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division, against the Ogoshis alongside one Ezekiel Ejemeh over the exploitation of minors and production of pornography, following a request by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The trio allegedly hacked some social media accounts, posing to be young attractive women to entice unsuspecting victims to send their sexually explicit photographs. These pictures were then used to blackmail the victims, forcing them to make substantial financial payments.

According to investigations by the EFCC and the FBI, the suspects conspired to conduct sex-based extortion of minors and adults in the United States of America.

The Ogoshis and Ejemeh were indicted in a United States Federal Court on December 1, 2022, on charges of exploitation of minors, resulting in death, and conspiracy to sexually exploit minors by causing the minors to produce child pornographic images that the defendants now use to blackmail them.

They are further charged with conspiracy to distribute child pornography, which borders on sending images to minors, their families and friends, and conspiracy to commit stalking through the Internet. The offences carry a minimum of five years and maximum 20 years imprisonment.

Specifically, Samuel was charged with causing the death of 17-year-old Jordan DeMay of Marquette, Michigan, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in March 2022.

While the Ogoshis were arrested sometime in February 2023 around the Ojo axis of Lagos, Ezekiel was picked up in Nasarawa by operatives of the EFCC. Meanwhile, the extradition of the third defendant, Ejemeh, is still pending.
