The RCMP welcomes the condemnation and condemnation of a man in Nigeria who tried to make a teenager of Surrey, British Columbia, by publishing his intimate online images, saying that “sextorions and fraud” will not be tolerated by society.
The Nigeria Economic and Financial Division Committee said Olukeye Adedayo had been sentenced to prison sentences last week totaling 76 years, after offenses which, according to the RCMP, led to the “sudden death” of the boy in February 2023.
The Nigeria Financial Division Agency declared in the publications on social networks that DEDAYO had faced 18 accusations, in particular the possession and distribution of juvenile pornography, the attempted by threats and money laundering.
He said that Adedayo created an Instagram group using the boy’s name to distribute the images, which, according to the RCMP, thought that the 14 -year -old man had sent to a teenager in an online interaction ended in minutes.
Look | Sextoming leads to the suicide of British Columbia, according to the police:
The Surrey RCMP announced accusations in a tragic sexual extortion case involving a 14 -year -old boy. According to the police, the former student followed her life after being sung by an online crook in Nigeria. As Jon Hernandez reports, this is only an increasing number of cases of sextrusions.
The RCMP said in a statement that Adedayo’s condemnation had come after an international effort.
“The conviction and the conviction … is the result of an intense international investigation of one year,” said the Surrey Provincial Operations Unit Surrey press release.
“This result came from the collaboration efforts of the Surrey RCMP, the FBI, the Australian Federal Police and the Economic and Financial Commission (Nigerian) … We believe that this case transmits a strong message that sextions and fraud will not be tolerated in our community.”
“We extend our reflections to the family and friends of the young victim in this file. We hope that the conclusion of the legal process will provide them with the closure.”
The gendarmes did not appoint the boy, but at a press conference last year, said that he had been properly identified in media reports on a 14 -year -old Surrey young person who died by suicide.
Sentences to operate simultaneously
The Nigerian agency said that Adedayo had pleaded not guilty to all the charges, but a judge found him guilty of all the accusations and sentenced him last Thursday.
However, the agency said that the 18 sentences should execute simultaneously, which suggests that the longest penalty that it will serve is seven years for each of the four counts of obtaining goods under false pretexts.
The Commission said that witnesses to the accusation included a Sergeant from the GRC serious unity.
An accusation cited by the Commission indicated that Adedayo had created the Instagram group with the explicit images on February 13, 2023 towards or around.
The boy’s hockey team published a message of condolences saying that he died the next day.
The police said at the press conference last year that the 14 -year -old was the target of the sextrusions, in which he had been deceived by thinking that a person asking for intimate images on Instagram and Snapchat was a teenager.
The author then told the boy to buy them gift cards to prevent the distribution of online images, police said. The interactions were only lacking in minutes, the investigators added.
Police provided a declaration by the boy last February, saying that he was an “innocent child” who loved life and loved hockey, and he took advantage of it.
“While we mourn the loss of our son, we want other parents to know that it could happen to anyone,” the statement said.
“Tell your children Internet security and keep the door to open communication, so that they can come to you to get help.”

The organization Intelligence report on threats Discussions on a “digital pandemic” of sextrition incidents would have increased by 1,000% in the previous 18 months.
