Six Nigerians Extradited for Online Scams | Global News

Six Nigerians linked to the violent Black Axe syndicate are being extradited to the U.S. today, accused of orchestrating a massive online romance scam that swindled over 100 American women—mostly elderly and business owners—for more than $6 million. Arrested in 2021, they’re now facing wire fraud and money laundering charges as part of a global crackdown. Black Axe, known for trafficking, murder, and multi-million-dollar scams across Africa, Europe, and North America, has been under FBI investigation since 2019. A recent Interpol operation in South Africa led to 39 arrests and seizures of cash and hundreds of bank accounts. This extradition is a major step in dismantling one of the world’s most dangerous cybercrime networks.
