The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of Dr. Mkor Aondona, Special Adviser to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia on Documentation, Research, and Planning.
The EFCC Spokesman, Mr. Dele Oyewale, disclosed the development to journalists in Makurdi on Saturday.
He stated that Aondona was apprehended on Friday by operatives of the Commission’s Makurdi Zonal Directorate over allegations of sexual exploitation and cyberbullying.
According to Oyewale, several female students had lodged petitions against the aide, accusing him of various acts of unethical and criminal behaviour, including sexual exploitation, blackmail, and cyberbullying.
“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,” Oyewale explained.
He said the alleged pattern of abuse extended far beyond the recruitment process.
“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.”
The EFCC spokesman further revealed that the suspect was involved in distributing explicit materials.
“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,” he added.
Oyewale concluded by noting that the Commission is finalizing its investigation, and the suspect will soon be charged to court.
