Thursday, November 7, 2024 - The government of Equatorial Guinea has
dismissed Baltasar Ebang Engonga as Director General of the National Financial
Investigation Agency (ANIF) after widely circulating s3x videos involving him
and numerous women surfaced online.
The
government earlier suspended Mr Engonga following the leak of over 400 alleged
s3x tapes of him in intimate situations with multiple women, some linked to
high-profile figures in the country.
Real
Equatorial Guinea reported that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo ordered
the dismissal of Mr Engonga, the son of Baltasar Engonga Edjo, current
president of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC).
The
newspaper added that according to Decree No. 118/2024, dated 4 November, the
dismissal cites Mr Engonga’s alleged misconduct in office, alongside family and
social behaviour deemed incompatible with public office.
A state
television station in the country, TVGE, reported Mr Engonga’s s3x tapes were
leaked when he was remanded in custody at Malabo’s infamous Black Beach prison
over an embezzlement of public funds.
Meanwhile,
Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue directed the country’s
telecommunications ministry, regulator, and telecommunications companies to
curb the distribution of pornographic videos.
He
emphasised that the government cannot continue to allow families to be harmed
by the viral circulation of the 54-year-old economist’s video.
Equatorial
Guinea’s chief prosecutor, Anatolio Nzang Nguema, has assured the people that
if medical tests confirmed the economist had a sexually transmitted disease, he
would face prosecution for endangering ‘public health'.
