EFCC Arrests Benue Gov’s Aide for Sextortion, Cyberbullying
Operatives of the Makurdi Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Dr. Mkor Aondona, Special Adviser to the Benue State Governor on Documentation, Research, and Planning, over allegations of sextortion and cyberbullying.
Dr. Aondona was apprehended on Friday, June 20, following a petition filed by multiple female students. The petitioners alleged that he abused his position by selectively recruiting “slim and attractive” young women for ushering roles and demanding sexual favours in exchange for selection.
According to the petition, the students believed they were applying for legitimate campus jobs, only to later discover that Dr. Aondona had allegedly recorded every sexual encounter without their consent. He reportedly used the footage to blackmail them into further sexual acts. “He would say, ‘If you refuse, I’ll leak the videos,’” one of the complainants told investigators.
The victims also alleged that the explicit videos were shared across multiple messaging platforms. “Some of the videos are already circulating,” they said, raising serious concerns about their safety and privacy.
The EFCC confirmed that Dr. Aondona will face formal charges once investigations are complete. A spokesperson for the Commission stated, “We treat allegations of sextortion with the utmost seriousness and are committed to ensuring justice is served.”
Dr. Aondona remains in EFCC custody, pending his arraignment in court.
