The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Mkor Aondona, the special adviser to the governor Hyacinth Alia, governor of Benue on documentation, research, and planning over alleged sextortion and cyberbullying.
Aondona was arrested on Friday in Makurdi, the state capital, following allegation by some female students accusing him of unethical and criminal behaviour involving sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, and blackmail.
A statement released on Saturday by Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, said 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 said the victims claimed that he secretly recorded sexual encounters without their consent and used the footage to coerce them into continued sexual relations under threat of exposure.
“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.
He further revealed that the suspect will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
