Equatorial Guinea has been gripped by a shocking scandal involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), who now faces explosive allegations of corruption and widespread infidelity. This scandal, which has quickly escalated into a national controversy, initially began as a routine investigation into suspected financial misconduct by Engonga but soon revealed a trove of startling and personal secrets.
Authorities stumbled upon a cache of CDs in Engonga’s home during a search connected to corruption allegations. Out of curiosity, investigators viewed the most recent video, revealing explicit footage of Engonga in a compromising encounter with the President’s sister in his own office. Following this discovery, the entire video collection was seized, unraveling a web of infidelity involving Engonga and an estimated 400 women, including many high-profile government spouses.
As the investigation deepened, authorities were stunned to discover Engonga’s alleged affairs with multiple wives of senior government officials, including:
- The wife of the Attorney General,
- The wife of the Inspector General of Police,
- The spouse of the Director of the Department of State Services, and
- Around 20 ministerial spouses.
Engonga reportedly also fathered children in some of these extramarital relationships, raising questions about paternity within prominent families. In one particularly shocking revelation, it was disclosed that Engonga’s own uncle’s pregnant wife was both his partner and a facilitator for introducing him to other women.
Details of Engonga’s alleged activities reveal an unsettling pattern of behavior, with encounters reportedly occurring in unconventional locations, such as expressways, football fields, and even within his government office. One particularly disturbing video reportedly shows a woman compelled to drink Engonga's urine, sparking public outrage and raising questions about abuse of power.
In the wake of these discoveries, Engonga was promptly arrested. Authorities have stated that he will undergo medical testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If confirmed positive, additional charges may be brought against him due to the potential health risks he posed to others.
The scandal’s impact has extended to Engonga’s family. His wife reportedly collapsed upon learning of his alleged infidelity and remains hospitalized. The couple has six children, who now face an uncertain future amid the public scrutiny surrounding their father’s actions.
This case has prompted widespread condemnation from the public and calls for increased accountability and reform within Equatorial Guinea’s government institutions. As more details continue to emerge, this scandal serves as a cautionary tale about abuse of power and personal misconduct at the highest levels. The nation watches closely as the investigation unfolds, waiting to see the full extent of the legal consequences Engonga will face.
