Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), was fired by the Equatorial Guinean government when it was discovered that obscene videos had been released online.
According to Real Equatorial Guinea, the dismissal was ordered by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo after the release of videos featuring Engonga engaging in intimate encounters with high-profile women.
“According to Decree No. 118/2024, dated November 4, Engonga’s removal from office was due to alleged misconduct during his tenure, as well as personal and social behavior deemed incompatible with his public position.”
Nearly 400 videos that captured Engonga’s private interactions with high-profile women, including his relatives, were posted on social media, sparking the scandal and drawing immediate public attention. Mrs. Obiang, the First Lady of Equatorial Guinea, responded to the incident on Wednesday by urging swift action to preserve Equatoguinean women’s dignity in the digital era on Facebook.
