Videos from Equatorial Guinea: Equatorial Guinea official becomes web sensation as 400 sex tapes involving police chief's wife and president's sister go viral

The director general of Equatorial Guinea's National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), Baltasar Ebang Engonga, is facing intense public backlash after explicit videos purporting to implicate him surfaced online. Engonga, who was initially investigated for fraud, is now embroiled in a scandal that has attracted attention on social media and raised significant concerns about professional conduct and risks to public health.

Equatorial Guinea Leaked videos go viral

The scandal erupted after investigators discovered over 400 videos stored on Engonga's computer that showed him in romantic encounters with multiple partners, including his brother's wife, a cousin and even a close relative of the president. The recordings reportedly took place in various locations, such as his office, hotels and toilets. All interactions in the videos were reportedly consensual.

The leaked footage has sparked widespread debate on social media. Some posts shared reactions, while others questioned the ethical implications of Engonga's behavior in his role as a public servant.

Attorney General launches health and privacy investigation

Equatorial Guinea's Attorney General's Office, led by Anatolio Nzang Nguema, has launched an investigation into the circumstances of the leak. Authorities are also investigating whether Engonga's actions may have created potential health risks. “If proven, he could face charges of endangering public health,” a spokesman confirmed.

Vice President Teodoro Nguema calls for accountability

Vice President Teodoro Nguema addressed the issue on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing that government offices are reserved for official business only. He announced the introduction of stricter guidelines to ensure that misconduct is met with disciplinary action, including possible termination for those found guilty.

Engonga's future remains uncertain amid increasing public scrutiny

Engonga, a married man with six children, held a key role at ANIF, where he oversaw financial investigations and led anti-corruption efforts. However, his position and reputation are now at risk as his personal actions come under increasing public scrutiny.

The leaked tapes have shone a spotlight on the private lives of officials and called into question the boundaries between private behavior and public responsibility in Equatorial Guinea's government.
