Baltasar Engonga Sacked After Viral ‘sex tape’ As Government Moves To Block Video Circulation
Equatorial Guinea Vice President Teodoro Mangue promised severe ‘measures’ against officials involved in sex scandals after the viral ‘sex tapes’ involving a high-ranking official and the wives of several prominent people.
The authorities in Equatorial Guinea have dismissed Baltasar Ebang Engonga as Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) following the viral spread of a video showing him with several women.
The government had already suspended Engonga after a video surfaced claiming he had sexual relations with over 400 women, some of whom were reportedly partners of prominent figures in the country.
Engonga has not commented on the allegations.
Local news outlets reported that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo ordered Engonga’s dismissal.
The dismissal decree was signed by Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) President Baltasar Engonga Edjo who is also Engonga’s father.
The 54-year-old Engonga is a prominent government official and politician who previously served as the head of the National Anti-Corruption Agency (ANIF) and began his career in 1998 as the Minister for Education.
Engonga is married and has six children.
