Digital Blackmail Horror: Police Spokesperson Issues Stern Warning As Nude Leak Threat Goes Viral Full Details

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Muyiwa Adejobi, has responded to disturbing reports of a young lady being blackmailed and subjected to sextortion by a man allegedly threatening to leak her private images.

A concerned user on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) raised the alarm, revealing that the suspected blackmailer contacted the victim — a resident of Umuahia, Abia State — via Facebook. He allegedly claimed to be in possession of her intimate photos and demanded payment to prevent their release. To intensify the pressure, the blackmailer reportedly sent photos of people the victim knows, threatening to expose the images to them if she failed to comply. According to the post, the emotional toll of the threats has left the victim suicidal.

Reacting to the report on his official X account, ACP Adejobi emphasized that sextortion is a criminal offense punishable by law. He called on the victim to contact the police immediately so that the issue can be properly investigated and addressed.
