The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said over the weekend that operatives of the Makurdi Zonal Directorate of the commission had arrested the Special Adviser to the Executive Governor of Benue State on Documentation, Research, and Planning, Dr. Mkor Aondona for alleged sextortion and cyberbullying.
According to a statement by the anti-graft agency, he was arrested on Friday June 20, 2025 in Makurdi following claims of some female students accusing the governor’s aide of unethical and criminal behavioir involving sexual exploitation, cyber bullying and blackmail.
The petitioners alleged that Aondona was 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 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 would soon be arraigned, the commussion said.
Meanwhile it is curious that EFCC and not the Police is the agency handling a crime that falls within the purview of Police investigation.
