The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has initiated an extradition proceedings at the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division, against three suspects, Samson Ogoshi, his brother, Samuel, and Ezekiel Ejemeh Robert, over exploitation of minor and production of child p%rnogr@phy.

The Ogoshis and Ezekiel were indicted in a United States Federal Court on December 1, 2022 on charges of £xploit@tion of min%rs and production of child p%rnogr@phy resulting in d£ath, conspiracy to distribute child p%rnogr@phy and conspiracy to commit stalking through the internet.

According to investigations, the suspects conspired to conduct a s+x-based extortion of min%rz and adults in the United States of America. The trio, investigations also revealed, hack£d some social media accounts, posing to be young attractive women to entice unsuspecting victims to send their s£x¥ally £xplicit imag£s.

These pictures were then used in bl@ckm@iling the victims, thereby forcing them into making huge financial payments.

Consequently, Samuel Ogoshi is charged with s£x¥al exploitation and attempted s£x¥al exploitation of minors that resulted in the d£ath of one Jordan DeMay, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a statutory mandatory minimum of 30 years in prison.

The trio are charged with conspiracy to s£x¥ally exploit minors by causing them to produce child p%rnogr@phic images that they used to bl@ckm@il them. They are further charged with conspiracy to distribute child p%rnogr@phy, which borders on sending images to min%rz, their families and friends, as well as conspiracy to commit stalking through the Internet.

Both offences carry a minimum of five years and maximum 20 years imprisonment. 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.
