Monday, November 4, 2024 – Equatorial Guinea’s financial
crime chief, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, who is the head of the National Agency for
Financial Investigation (ANIF), finds himself at the center of a national
scandal after explicit personal recordings surfaced online.
The tapes, allegedly numbering over 300, depict Ebang in
encounters with multiple women, some of whom are reported to be married,
including the wife of the Presidential security head and his own brother’s
spouse.
The videos, reportedly recorded in various
locations—including his office, hotels, and public spaces—were found during a
corruption probe.
Ebang had initially been detained on allegations of
corruption, but the investigation uncovered these recordings on his personal
devices.
Authorities subsequently leaked the footage, sparking
widespread backlash.
The scandal is particularly explosive given Ebang’s public
profile and personal life; he is married and has six children.
The revelations have drawn attention to both the personal
and professional conduct of officials within Equatorial Guinea’s political
landscape.
The incident continues to be the subject of intense public
interest and scrutiny as more details emerge.
