Breaking News: Watch what happened to this Nigerian who captured the attention of the entire world.

For wire fraud, a Nigerian national on the FBI's Cybercrime List was extradited from Ghana to the United States. Emmanuel Olamide Adeola, a Nigerian national, has been extradited from Ghana to the United States to stand trial for cybercrime and wire fraud. Following a long international investigation that connected him to a number of complex internet fraud schemes targeting individuals and businesses in the United States, Adeola—who was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) list of cybercriminals—was arrested in Ghana.

Adeola is charged by U.S. officials with masterminding a massive wire fraud scheme that tricked victims into sending huge amounts of money by utilizing phony identities and phony communications. The fraud schemes were specifically created to take advantage of real estate and business transactions, where victims were duped into wiring money to bank accounts that the cybercriminals controlled. Following a request for Adeola's arrest and transfer to the United States under an international treaty, the FBI and Ghana's law enforcement authorities worked closely together to secure the extradition. Adeola apparently continued to participate in unlawful online activities while residing in Ghana for a number of years.

Adeola was officially charged when he arrived in the United States and will face trial in a federal court. He would have to pay back the victims of his fraud schemes and serve a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty. Cybercriminals around the world are being warned by this extradition that law enforcement is increasingly collaborating across national boundaries to combat online crimes. The partnership between the United States and Ghana in this instance demonstrates the growing significance of global coordination in the battle against cybercrime.
