British-Nigerian Man Jailed for Abd¥cting 5-Year-Old Son Still at Large After Accidental Release From U.K Prison

A British-Nigerian man jailed in the United Kingdom for abducting his five-year-old son remains on the run after prison authorities mistakenly released him, in a case a judge has described as a major institutional failure.

Ifedayo Adedapo Kolawoe Adeyeye was freed from HMP Pentonville on April 21, 2026, despite having an additional one-year sentence to serve before his planned extradition to France. The error was only discovered two days later, prompting an urgent manhunt.

Extortion is a serious crime where someone uses coercion, threats, or force to obtain money, property, or services from another person. It is often described as "demanding money with menaces" and is legally distinct from robbery because it typically involves a future threat rather than immediate physical force. 

Common Types of Extortion

• Blackmail: Using the threat of revealing sensitive or damaging information (like private photos or secrets) to force a payment.
• Sextortion: A modern cyber-crime where attackers threaten to release intimate images or videos of the victim unless they pay.
• Ransomware: Hackers lock access to a person's or company's computer files and demand a "ransom" payment—often in cryptocurrency—to unlock them.
• Protection Schemes: Groups (like organized crime) demanding "insurance" or protection money from businesses to prevent them from being harmed by the group itself.
• "Go-Away" Money: Demanding payment to drop a legal objection or nuisance, such as a bogus planning objection.
