Nigerian brothers jailed in US for sextortion scam targeting teenagers.

They lured Jordan DeMay into sending explicit images by pretending to be a girl his age.

He killed himself less than six hours after they started talking on Instagram .

The brothers pleaded guilty in April to conspiring to sexually exploit teenage boys in Michigan and across the US .

It comes from the early 2000s wave of Nigerian Prince scam emails which spread through the Yahoo email service. Dr Tombari Sibe , from cyber-security firm Digital Footprints Nigeria , says cyber-fraud such as sextortion has become normalised among young people in the country, but he hopes that news of the Ogoshis' sentencing spreads fast. "They see cybercrime as a bloodless crime, with potentially lucrative financial rewards. This case needs to be given sufficient coverage to show these young people that sextortion can lead to loss of life and long prison sentences," he said..
