Jonas Okétola (born August 27, 1983 in Nigeria) is a Nigeria-Beninese former footballer. He last played for Thanda Royal Zulu.

Career

The South Africa Soccer Association assessed a two-year ban on Okétola in January 2009, as a result of a doping violation.[1] A random test after a league match turned up a positive result for amphetamines, a prohibited substance.[1]

International career

He was part of the Beninese 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to qualify for the quarter-finals.
