EFCC Arrests Benue Governor’s Aide Over Alleged Sextortion, Cyberbullying
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Makurdi have arrested Dr. Mkor Aondona, the Special Adviser to the Benue State Governor on Documentation, Research, and Planning, over allegations of sextortion, cyberbullying, and non-consensual dissemination of explicit content.
Aondona was arrested on Friday, June, after multiple female students filed petitions accusing him of sexually exploitative conduct, including recording private sexual acts without consent and using them to blackmail victims into further sexual relationships.
According to a statement sent to THE WHISTLER by the spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, Head, Media and Publicity, the complainants — mostly university students — alleged that Dr. Aondona routinely recruited “slim and attractive” young women for ushering jobs tied to government events and insisted on sexual favours as a condition for selection.
The petitioners claimed that Aondona secretly filmed their intimate encounters without their knowledge.
The EFCC disclosed that several explicit videos had already been circulated via messaging apps and social media.
The statement read, “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 will soon be charged to court,” the statement said.
