A federal judge in Michigan sentenced Nigerian brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi to 17.5 years in prison for their involvement in a social media sextortion scheme.
The brothers' case highlights a growing trend of financial sextortion, where scammers pose as young women on social media to manipulate victims into sending nude photos.
Their extradition to the U.S. marks enhanced cooperation with Nigerian authorities to combat international scams, indicated by the recent extradition of other Nigerian nationals on similar charges.
Following their prison sentence, the brothers will face five years of supervised release, reflecting the serious nature of their crimes against victims, including a high school student's death.
