The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) disclosed on Saturday, June 21, that it had arrested Mkor Aondona, Special Adviser on Documentation, Research, and Planning to the Benue State Governor, following serious allegations of sexual exploitation and cyberbullying.
According to the EFCC, Aondona was taken into custody on Friday in Makurdi after a petition was filed by several female students who accused him of coercing them into sexual activities, secretly recording the encounters, and using the footage to blackmail them.
“The petitioners alleged that Aondona consistently recruited slim and attractive young women for ushering roles, but demanded sexual favours as a condition for selection,” the statement read. “Unbeknownst to the victims, he recorded their sexual encounters without consent and used the footage to threaten them into continued relations.”
The EFCC further revealed that some of the explicit videos were reportedly distributed across social media and messaging platforms, intensifying the trauma for the victims. The commission stated that Aondona would be formally charged in court soon.
The allegations were initially brought to light by Human Rights and Gender Activist Ukan Kurugh, who petitioned Governor Hyacinth Alia on June 13. In his petition, Kurugh condemned the exploitation of young women under the guise of unofficial recruitment for ushering roles at government functions.
He wrote: “Your Excellency, we are deeply alarmed by reports of a government official using a fake recruitment process as a cover to sexually exploit young women in our state. Dr. Mkor Aondona Donatus, your Special Adviser on Documentation, Research, and Planning, has allegedly been misleading female students and graduates with false claims of employment opportunities authorized by your office, when no such programme exists.”

A heated political exchange has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential race, as camps backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s rivals push back against his claims of superior popularity, especially in the North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso rejected Atiku’s assertion that he remains the dominant northern vote-getter, insisting that such claims do not reflect today’s political realities.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, aligned with a potential Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, dismissed Atiku’s influence in the North as largely elite-driven, arguing that Kwankwaso enjoys more genuine grassroots support.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi also reacted, faulting Atiku’s position and questioning the logic of relying solely on regional identity as a basis for presidential ambition.
Atiku, in a recent interview, had maintained that none of his northern rivals, including Kwankwaso, can match his electoral strength, while downplaying Kwankwaso’s influence beyond Kano State.
His remarks sparked criticism across political circles, with some opposition figures describing them as arrogant and dismissive of other contenders.
Kwankwaso’s camp, however, maintained that both Kwankwaso and Obi have more “organic” support bases compared to politically induced followership, warning that such comments could deepen divisions within the ADC coalition.
Amaechi also argued that the ADC presidential ticket should be determined through a competitive primary rather than consensus, insisting that all aspirants should be tested at the ballot.
The growing disagreement highlights rising tension within the opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key figures intensify positioning for the party’s presidential ticket.
