In Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the head of the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), is embroiled in a scandal that has gripped the nation. Arrested recently on charges of corruption, the case against Ebang took a surprising turn when investigators uncovered hundreds of explicit videos allegedly depicting his encounters with over 300 women, including family members and the wives of high-ranking officials.
The recordings, which investigators reportedly found on Ebang’s devices, are said to include footage from his office, hotels, and other locations. Among those allegedly involved are the wife of the presidential security chief, the Attorney General’s wife, Ebang’s own brother’s spouse—whom he reportedly fathered two children with—and even members of the president’s family.
Authorities have since leaked some of the clips, which have provoked public outrage and brought intense scrutiny on Ebang. The revelations suggest that his relationships were far-reaching, involving numerous prominent figures and their families, including the Inspector General of Police’s wife, the wives of more than 20 ministers, and other high-profile individuals.
The scandal has deeply affected Ebang’s own family, with reports indicating that his wife fainted upon learning of the extent of his affairs and remains in hospital. As the situation unfolds, the nation watches closely, reflecting on the broader implications of the scandal and what it reveals about the country’s elite.
