A pair of brothers from Nigeria have been ordered to spend almost two decades behind bars for their role in the death of a Michigan teenager who they targeted in a sexual exploitation scheme.

Samuel Ogoshi, 24, and Samson Ogoshi, 21, of Lagos, Nigeria, were sentenced to 210 months — more than 17 years — in prison, the Department of Justice announced on Thursday. They pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to sexually exploit minors in connection with the death of Jordan DeMay, a 17-year-old high school student who died by suicide on March 25, 2022, after the brothers targeted him in an online scan.
