Reading Time: 3 minutes

An Equatorial Guinea Politician and a businessman has been arrested after over 400 sextapes leaked with the wives and sisters of the most prominent people in the country. 

A businessman in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, has been involved in a scandal involving over 400 sextapes with the wives of notable people in the country. The scandal emerged in the course of a fraud investigation which resulted in the search of his house and office notice by ANIF officials who came across several CDs that later revealed his sexcapades with different married women. 

The videos reportedly include encounters with high-profile individuals, such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, his sister’s 16 friends, his pastor’s wife, the sister of the President of Equatorial Guinea, the Director General of Police’s wife, and about 20 of the country’s ministers’ wives, among others. 

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. 

In a report published by a local media platform, Ahora EG, since last October, Engonga has been involved in a sexual scandal unprecedented in the history of Equatorial Guinea. The former ANIF DG better known as “Bello” had sexual relations with several women, some of them married, and filmed these intimate encounters. 

In the report, the most striking thing is that some scenes took place in his work office, including moments in which he is seen sleeping with a woman next to the National Flag. Based on this sexual scandal, the Executive has stated that the measure is a direct response to the acts that have affected the image of the country. 

New measures state that the Government hopes to establish a clear precedent on the expected conduct of public officials in order to create a more respectful work environment in the public and private administration of Equatorial Guinea. In the past few days, erotic videos have been circulating on social media featuring Baltasar Ebang Engonga, better known as “Bello”, who is currently the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) and is currently imprisoned for alleged corruption issues. 

Baltasar is said to have filmed these scenes with the consent of the women themselves, which exonerates him from a possible crime of violation of integrity. In the videos, he is seen having unprotected sex with several women, including those married to powerful and well-known people in the country, but also with the most influential single women in Equatorial Guinea. Some scenes take place in hotel rooms, houses, even in the protagonist’s office at the Ministry of Finance. 

However, speaking on the viral sextapes, the Attorney General of the country, Nzang Nguema, has stressed that, although the images suggest that the women involved were not forced to participate, the law does not consider consensual sexual relations to be a crime, unless coercion or violence is proven. This highlights the importance of victims reporting situations of sexual abuse or assault.

Nguema also emphasised that the risk is not only for the women involved but also for their partners and the wider community. The possibility of a contagious disease being spread through these sexual interactions makes the situation even more critical. He further pointed out that the onus is on victims to come forward in cases of rape or assault, highlighting the need for an environment where people feel safe and supported to report such incidents.

Reacting to the story on Monday, Equatorial Guinea has decided to take action by immediately suspending all officials who have had sexual relations in the offices of the country’s ministries. 

The government claimed that the decision was part of its zero tolerance policy towards behaviour that compromises the integrity of the public service. 

Through his statement published on X, the Vice President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Nguema Mnangue, has pointed out that this behaviour is a violation of the code of conduct and the public law and they would not like for something like that to happen again. 

The Vice President also emphasised that ethics and respect are fundamental in our Administration and that irresponsible attitudes that put citizen trust at risk will not be allowed in the country.
