LAGOS MAY 2ND (NEWSRANGERS)-Recent reports indicate that FBI agents have arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, with authorization to extradite individuals identified as fraudsters.
This development is part of ongoing collaborative efforts between U.S. and Nigerian law enforcement agencies to combat cybercrime and financial fraud.
While specific details about the agents’ activities in Lagos remain limited, this move aligns with a series of recent extraditions involving Nigerian nationals facing fraud-related charges in the United States.
For instance, in December 2024, Abiola Kayode was extradited from Ghana to Nebraska to face charges related to a business email compromise scheme that defrauded businesses of over $6 million.
Additionally, in March 2025, Okechukwu Josiah Odunna was extradited from Nigeria to the Southern District of Florida to face charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution.
These actions underscore the intensified efforts by international law enforcement agencies to hold individuals accountable for cyber and financial crimes.
