The Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s Anti-graft National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), Baltasar Ebang Engonga, has come under heavy criticism following allegations of a massive and dirty sex scandal.

It was gathered that Engonga has reportedly been on the radar of the government as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.

This, according to reports, prompted security operatives to conduct search on the house and office of Engonga, where they were said to have discovered about 400 explicit videos allegedly featuring him and numerous women.

The footage, discovered in his office, reportedly include sex tapes involving prominent persons, such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, 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.

Following the development, Equatorial Guinea’s vice president, Teodoro Nquema, who took to his official X handle, said an investigation had begun into the alleged sex scandal.

According to him, sexual relations in administrative workplaces are strictly prohibited.

He also vowed that anyone violating the rule would face disciplinary actions, including dismissal from their job.

He tweeted: “Given the abuse that has been shown on social media in Equatorial Guinea in recent days, and remembering that ministries are solely and exclusively for carrying out administrative work in support of the country’s development, sexual relations in offices are prohibited.

“Control mechanisms are already in place, and anyone who violates this rule again will be subject to disciplinary proceedings for indecent conduct and will be dismissed from their job.”

The New Diplomat reports that Engonga is the son of Baltasar Engonga Edjoo, the current president of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC).

His role in ANIF includes overseeing financial investigations and managing activities aimed at curbing financial corruption in the country.
