The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested the Special Adviser to Benue State Governor on Documentation, Research, and Planning, Dr Mkor Aondona, for alleged sextortion and cyberbullying.

Aondona was arrested in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, on Friday June 20, 2025, following claims of some female students accusing the governor’s aide of unethical and criminal behavior involving sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, and  blackmail.

The EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, in a statement issued on Saturday, disclosed that the petitioners alleged that Aondona was routinely recruiting slim and attractive girls for ushering jobs and insisted on  sexual favours as a condition for their selection.

“Based on this, they became vulnerable to having sexual affairs with him but unknown to them, he had videos of every sexual act without their consent and was always threatening to leak the videos if they refused to continue having sex with him,” Oyewale stated.

Aondona was also alleged to be involved in blackmail – sending explicit videos of the girls allegedly recorded without their knowledge or consent through several  messaging platforms.

Some of the videos are said to be in circulation.

The EFCC spokesperson added that the governor’s aide will soon be charged to court.
