In a shocking turn of events, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the recently sacked Director General of Equatorial Guinea' s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has found himself at the center of a scandal that has captivated the nation. The controversy escalated when video footage surfaced, revealing his wife in an intimate encounter with another man.

The emergence of these videos has been attributed to social critic Martins Ortse, known online as VeryDarkMan, who shared the footage on his Instagram account. He expressed his disbelief at the ongoing drama, stating, " Just when I thought it was all over about this Equatorial Guinea man, the whole thing is getting more interesting. I just saw a video of his wife and another man; it' s crazy. " His post has since sparked significant discussion and debate across social media platforms. This scandal comes on the heels of an investigation into Engonga for alleged fraud, during which approximately 400 explicit videos featuring various women were discovered. The revelation of these tapes has not only tarnished Engonga' s reputation but has also raised serious concerns about privacy in the digital age.

First Lady Constancia Mangue Obiang has publicly condemned the situation, calling for urgent government action to protect the dignity of Equatoguinean women. During a meeting with Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue, she emphasized the need for measures that uphold privacy rights in the digital landscape, highlighting the vulnerability of individuals in such situations. As the fallout continues, Engonga has been relieved of his duties and arrested, marking a significant moment in Equatorial Guinea' s political landscape. The implications of this scandal extend beyond Engonga and his family; they highlight broader societal issues regarding privacy, respect, and the treatment of women in the digital era.
