The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday arrested the Special Adviser to the Benue State Governor on Documentation, Research, and Planning, Dr. Mkor Aondona for alleged sextortion and cyberbullying.
The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said in a statement on Saturday in Abuja that Aondona was arrested following claims of unethical and criminal behaviour by some students in the state.
He said the petitioners alleged that the governor’s aide was routinely recruiting slim and attractive girls for ushering jobs and insisted on sexual favours as a condition for selection.
The statement read: “Operatives of the Makurdi Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested the Special Adviser to the Executive Governor of Benue State on Documentation, Research, and Planning, Dr. Mkor Aondona for alleged sextortion and cyberbullying.
“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 behaviour 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.”
