Extradited Nigerian Yahoo boy Imoleayo “Alice Dave” Aina has been sentenced to six years in a U.S. prison for sextortion and related cybercrime, with restitution ordered to his victims.
A Nigerian Yahoo boy extradited to the U.S. in 2024, Imoleayo “Alice Dave” Aina, 27, has been sentenced to six years in prison for sextortion and offences linked to the death of an American, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
U.S. Attorney David Metcalf sentenced Mr Aina on October 28 to “72 months in prison and five years of supervised release, for offences related to the sexual extortion and death of a young man in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.” The court also ordered him to pay “$3,250 in restitution” after he pleaded guilty to “cyberstalking, interstate threat to injure reputation, receiving proceeds of extortion, money laundering conspiracy, and wire fraud.”
Metcalf described Mr Aina as “the driving force behind this sextortion scheme, which left a young man, and then his family, traumatised,” adding: “We can and we will find, prosecute, and hold accountable these insidious sextortionists.”
His co-defendant, Samuel Abiodun, was sentenced to five years earlier.
