Nigerian judge convicts man of sextorting B.C. teen who died by suicide

Adedayo Olukeye has been charged in relation to the sextortion of a B.C. teenager who took his life. The 26-year-old is in custody in Lagos, Nigeria. He is a Black man holding a placard with his alleged crimes.

Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said Olukeye Adedayo was sentenced last week to prison terms totalling 76 years, after offences that the RCMP said resulted in the boy's "sudden death" in February 2023.
