From Joseph Uchenna, in Makurdi
Operatives of the Makurdi Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested the Special Adviser to the Governor of Benue State on Documentation, Research and Planning, Dr. Mkor Aondona over alleged sextortion and cyber bullying.
A statement signed by the Commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale and made available to this medium said the aide was arrested on Friday June 20, 2025 in Makurdi following claims by some female students accusing the Aondona of unethical and criminal behavior involving sexual exploitation, cyber bullying and blackmail.
The petitioners alleged that the Special Adviser was involved in routinely recruiting slim and attractive girls for ushering jobs and insisted on sexual favours as a condition for selection.
Based on this, they became vulnerable to having sexual affairs with him but unknown to them, he had videos of every sexual act recorded without their consent and was always threatening to leak the videos if they refused to continue having sex with him.
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 suspect will soon be charged to court, the EFCC said.
