Mkor Aondona, the Special Adviser to the Executive Governor of Benue State on Documentation, Research, and Planning, was taken into custody by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission agents on suspicion of sextortion and cyberbullying.
Aondona was taken into custody in Makurdi on Friday after some female students accused the governor’s assistant of engaging in illegal and unethical activities that included extortion, cyberbullying, and sexual exploitation.
The petitioners claimed that Aondona was regularly hiring slender, attractive ladies for ushering positions and demanding sexual favours as a requirement for selection, according to a statement issued on Saturday by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
According to the victims, Oyewale said, he surreptitiously videotaped sexual sessions without their knowledge and used the footage to pressure them into continuing to have sex under the danger of being discovered.
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, cyberbullying 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. “
According to Oyewale, other claims imply that Aondona disseminated some of the films through messaging apps without the victims’ consent or knowledge.

According to reports, some of the materials are already in use, he said.
“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 said.
He disclosed that the suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
