Is there a reason we're seeing more Nigerians being extradited from the UAE lately? Does this have something to do with scams or other financial crimes?

Honestly, I’ve noticed the same thing. It feels like every other month there’s news about another Nigerian getting extradited from the UAE, especially for stuff like internet scams or money laundering. I think a big reason is that both countries are paying more attention to financial crimes because they’re often linked to things like human trafficking, drug business, and a bunch of other serious stuff.

I remember reading that the UAE is trying to clean up its image by cracking down on international criminals, and Nigeria is under a lot of pressure to do something about these scams that keep popping up. So, when they catch someone in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, there’s a lot more cooperation now to send them back.

Plus, with Interpol making it easier for police in different countries to talk to each other, the whole process just works faster. If you’re running big scams or moving money illegally, it’s almost impossible to stay hidden for long if both countries are serious about working together. It’s like every country’s cops are in the same group chat now. Kinda makes me feel like international crime movies are real life!
