Baltasar Ebang Engonga, general manager Equatorial GuineaThe National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) is under investigation after sexually explicit videos allegedly featuring him were found on his computer. The videos reportedly show Engonga in risky situations with multiple partners, including family members and a person linked to the country’s president.
More than 400 videos were found on Engonga’s computer showing him engaging in intimate relations with numerous partners in various locations, including his office, hotels and public toilets.
Authorities were initially investigating Engonga for fraud when the videos were discovered. The attorney general’s office, led by Anatolio Nzang Nguema, is currently examining how the videos were leaked and whether Engonga’s actions posed a public health risk. “If proven, he could be charged with endangering public health,” a spokesman for the attorney general’s office said, according to media reports.
The videos reportedly include people including the official’s brother’s wife, his cousin and a relative of Equatorial Guinea’s president. Although reports indicate that all encounters were consensual, the content sparked controversy on social media.

The scandal sparked widespread controversy in Equatorial Guinea, prompting a response from vice president Teodoro Nguema. In his post on the social media platform X, he reminded government officials that “ministries are only for administrative work.” He added that inspections will be implemented more strictly and officials found to have violated these rules may face dismissal.

Engonga, married with six children, is a leading figure in ANIF, which is responsible for investigating financial crimes and fighting corruption. The leaked videos cast a shadow over his professional life and sparked public debate about the behavior of public officials.
