EFCC's Ola Olukoyede praised by FBI for sextortion crackdown
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) commended Ola Olukoyede, the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for his significant contributions to Operation Artemis, aimed at disrupting sextortion networks targeting minors. In a letter signed by FBI Director Kash Patel, the EFCC's collaboration was praised, particularly for aiding in the arrest and extradition of suspects facing federal charges in the United States.
Under Olukoyede’s leadership, the EFCC designated personnel to support investigations and facilitate the extradition of Adebola Festus Adekunle and Mudashiru Afeez Olawale, who were indicted in 2023 for sexual exploitation and extortion of minors. The two suspects were extradited to the U.S. in August 2026.
Patel acknowledged that the successful prosecution of these cases was largely due to the EFCC's commitment to international law enforcement cooperation. He expressed appreciation for the ongoing partnership between the FBI and the EFCC.
