Baltasar Ebang Engonga, Director General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), is currently at the centre of a major scandal after authorities discovered hundreds of explicit videos allegedly featuring him in compromising situations.
The videos reportedly include encounters with high-profile individuals, such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, and the sister of the President of Equatorial Guinea.
The scandal emerged in the course of a fraud investigation, during which investigators found over 300 videos on Ebang Engonga’s computer, showing encounters with multiple women, including some who are married.
The footage, discovered in his personal office, was said to have been recorded with consent and has since been leaked online, causing a media uproar.
Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President, Teodoro Nguema, addressed the scandal in a public statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), where he condemned inappropriate conduct within government offices.
He stressed that sexual relations are strictly prohibited in administrative workplaces and warned of repercussions for violations.
“Given the abuse that has been shown on social media in Equatorial Guinea in recent days, and remembering that ministries are solely and exclusively for carrying out administrative work in support of the country’s development, sexual relations in offices are prohibited,” Nguema stated.
“Control mechanisms are already in place, and anyone who violates this rule again will be subject to disciplinary proceedings for indecent conduct and will be dismissed from their job.”
His role includes overseeing financial investigations and managing activities aimed at curbing financial corruption in the country.
Married with six children, Ebang Engonga has held a prominent position in the agency, which has significant influence over the nation’s financial transparency and regulatory framework.
