The FBI and law enforcement partners from Canada, Australia, and Nigeria conducted a first-of-its kind operation in Summer 2023 that resulted in charges against some of the most egregious perpetrators of financially motivated sextortion.

FBI agents from across the United States, including St. Louis, have broken up a global sextortion ring in an effort dubbed Operation Artemis.

According to the FBI, 22 suspects in Nigeria have been arrested, three of whom have been extradited to the U.S. for prosecution. The remaining suspects are in the process of being extradited. FOX 2's Andy Banker reports.


Sextortion refers to a practice in which scammers convince youngsters (usually teenagers) to send them nude or compromising photos. The scammers then blackmail the teens to send them money otherwise they will make the photos go public or send them to the teen's parents.

In recent years the Nigerian Police and the EFCC have collaborated with law enforcement officials from all over the world to take down these scammers. Many of the scammers are based in Nigeria and they often target children in the West.

In this particular operation, the team set up a command center at the EFCC's office in Lagos and from there they arrested 21 of the scammers. Some of them have been extradited, while others are undergoing extradition proceedings.

See how watched out the paint on the EFCC's Lagos office building looks, despite the billions of money they recover each year.

That image is a disgrace to Nigeria.
