Jordan DeMay, 17, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in March 2022 after the defendants allegedly tricked him into sending explicit photos of himself and threatened to share them with friends and family.

  1. How about what Americans did to Nigerians/West Africans? When will your people be held accountable for your evil & thuggish ways? White people have done more harm than anyone else & are still getting away with it. But let it be them & yet he took his own life, then they want someone else to blame. The hypocrisy of it all.

  2. They should BOTH face 30 years each

  3. These young guys made a huge mistake being onto a scam that seems harmless except for humiliation.

  4. im not surprised the criminals are nigerians

  5. The same suspect as always

  6. Lol yeah Americans extorts the planet and their governments extort the citizens lol I heard the coronavirus is back, can we hold the people that created it accountable ? Im just asking and what’s their description?😂

  7. Them: "Pay me or I'll expose you."
    Me: "F-you. Do it. I gave you those on purpose."
    Them: "…"

  8. now the US taxpayers need to feed these 2 trash for years?

  9. In this day and age, being sent a miscellaneous random nude is not going to make anyone bat an eye. Don't kys over a naked image….ever.

  10. this was hacked social media accounts. More and more evidence that social media is awful for our youth, Not one good thing about it. Not one

  11. Jail them for life, somehow I believe their parents may have advised them to opt for a better way of life.

  12. Put them in the gas chamber already,for the death of this promising young man. This really broke my heart to pieces.
    These my 2 Nigerian boys are worse than the devil.
    The 17 year old did what a lot of teens would've done 'cause he couldn't open up to his family out of shame. Kids are like that.
    I had to share the video with my teens,promising them that this is nothing. Where i grew up in Nigeria,boys go naked,just to win as little as 1usd bet. What's there in being naked.
    Rest in perfect peace brother. I'm with you and your family on this one. Sooo sad

  13. The Nigerian government is owned by the US, allowing the extraditing of one of your citizens like that…sorry for the victims but the perps are young boys trying to eat because the west exploits their resources! Remember wikileaj’s Panama Papers? How many trillions are embezzling from African each year, into the west? Who is extradited for that? Africa is more a victim of fraud than the west is.

  14. And yet, Shanquella Robinson has been abandoned by the Biden administration

  15. The Nigerian government sold out there people countless times

  16. It can only happen in Nigeria, never heard that a country send their citizens to another country to be prosecuted, even American cant do that, what they did is evil and deserve whatever is coming to them but no other country will agree to that because everyone has right

  17. Throw the book at them lock them for life

  18. It was about time something got done. These scammers are everywhere! I keep getting texts and emails from Nigeria nonstop!

  19. Glad these evil monsters were caught

  20. If your kids are under 18 & living under your roof, don't allow them on social media. It's a privilege, not a right. Kids need you to be their parent, not a friend. Don't worry, they'll thank you in 10 years.

  21. This is just scary and very very bad . I was scammed by Nigerians 5 years ago on instagram and they asked me for amazon gift cards and that was very bad and I got in big trouble with my mom and my family and I had to fix my mistakes . Ever since then I feel sad and bad for what young men are being tricked into by two dangerous boys who should be sent to jail .

  22. Whatever happened to never talk to strangers? That includes online and offline.

  23. Never!!! Hard to believe!!

  24. Look like you guys got bitter…since your people france got mentioned of being removed out of Niger…U.S. in Africa time is coming also

    What those Nigerians are doing is because of europeans presence in Africa

    Did you know that Plato, Pytagoras, Socrates, Aristotle all wrote an talked in books/Their books about going to school in Kemet(egypt) Africa…Then they took it back to ancient greece, greek an taught what they learned…After romans attacked greeks they did similar

    Then alexander(here is part of his true story) got jealous and sneak attacked Kemet…Stole From Their Libraries Origin Math, Science, First Holy Writing, Astronomy, Astrology, Architecture etc…then ptolemy’s copied Architecture an built alexandria…put knowledge inside, copied, then it more education started for greeks, europe…that’s when the romans got it from them…both took it back to europe an copied…that’s the next time europe started to get real education

    Then from those times Isaac Newton, Galileo etc other known names like them Studied The Hermetica, Alchemy Which is The African Knowledge named to the new names…That is what made the renaissance period etc

    All that have been admitted, documented an clear proof in many places like History Channel, National geographic etc

  25. I can't help laughing.
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️

  26. So many people of all over the world love scamming especially Nigeria, india and phillipines

  27. I want to apologize to the family on behalf of lagos. Lagos is so poor and america plays with the homeless and killing them . The world is suffering while we are comfortable in are own lives . The greatest revenge is to adopt a family from lagos and bring them over in the memory of jordan and just grow knowing your son is still here in spirit .

  28. Life in prison should be the mandatory punishment for this type of crime. These people think that they are safe because they’re in a foreign country… Hopefully this case removes that sense of security. The same should happen to those the perpetrate ransomware attacks.

  29. Democrats will have them out in a week….and pay them welfare and housing

  30. Boys get over it buy a penthouse

  31. Don't believe anything or anyone on the computer, it's always fake

  32. Good those guys are disgusting, they need 30 yrs

  33. You mean Migrants? Lol. But i thought the orange man said they arent bringing their best and brightest? What a racist!
