Baltasar Ebang Engonga, a high-ranking official in the Equatorial Guinean government, finds himself at the center of a significant sex scandal.
The controversy came to light during a fraud investigation, which led authorities to search Engonga’s home and office. He serves as the director general of the Anti-graft National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF).
During the search, officials reportedly uncovered approximately 400 explicit videos allegedly featuring Engonga alongside multiple women. The content, found in his office, purportedly includes footage with notable figures, including his brother’s wife, a cousin, the sister of Equatorial Guinea’s president, the wife of the police director general, and around 20 wives of various ministers.
These videos, which have since circulated widely on social media, were recorded in locations such as his office, hotels, and restrooms, all with the consent of those involved.
In response to the unfolding scandal, Teodoro Nquema, the vice president of Equatorial Guinea, took to X to remind the public that sexual relations in government offices are strictly forbidden. He warned that those who breach this policy will face disciplinary measures, including termination.
“Given the recent abuses showcased on social media in Equatorial Guinea, and emphasizing that ministries are intended solely for administrative work to support the nation’s development, sexual relations in offices are prohibited,” he stated. “Control mechanisms are already in place, and anyone who violates this rule again will be subject to disciplinary actions for indecent conduct and will be dismissed.”
Engonga is the son of Baltasar Engonga Edjoo, the current president of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). As ANIF’s director, he is responsible for overseeing financial investigations and efforts to combat corruption within the country. The 54-year-old official is married and has six children.
