Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended Mkor Aondona, the Special Adviser on Research and Planning to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia, over allegations of sextortion and cyberbullying.
In a statement released on Saturday, the EFCC confirmed Aondona’s arrest on June 20, following complaints from several female students who accused him of 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,” the statement reads.
“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 anti-corruption agency added that Aondona will be charged in court.
