The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested mr Makor Aondona, Special Adviser to the Governor of Benue State on Documentation, Research and Planning, for alleged sextortion, cyberbullying, and blackmail.
Mr Aondona was apprehended on Friday in Makurdi, following a series of petitions from female students who accused him of using his political position to sexually exploit young women under the guise of offering them ushering jobs.
According to a statement shared on Saturday by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale, the petitioners claimed that Mr Aondona routinely targeted slim and attractive girls for event ushering roles and allegedly demanded sexual favours as a condition for selection.
The girls alleged that after being lured into sexual relations, they later discovered that Aondona had secretly recorded the acts and used the explicit videos to blackmail them, threatening to leak the footage if they refused to continue sleeping with him,” Mr Oyewale said.
He added that Mr Aondona allegedly distributed some of the explicit recordings—reportedly made without the victims’ consent—across several messaging platforms. Some of the videos are said to be in circulation.
The EFCC confirmed that Mr Aondona is in custody and will be charged in court soon.
