Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency, was arrested yesterday after authorities discovered more than 400 s*x tapes purportedly featuring the wives of prominent persons in Equatorial Guinea. This stunning news ignited social media.
ANIF officers conducted an unexpected search of Engonga's workplace and residence after the scandal arose during a fraud probe into the 54-year-old economist. The country was astonished by what they discovered. Many CDs that detailed Engonga's purported covert meetings with other married ladies were found during the search. High-profile people are allegedly featured on the tapes, including the wives of roughly 20 ministers, his brother's wife, his cousin, the president of Equatorial Guinea's sister, and the director general of police.
Equatorial Guinea has been engulfed in controversy as a result of this finding, and the contents of the scandal have prompted reactions from both public and government officials. Given that the records feature well-known and trusted people, many are expressing feelings of incredulity, betrayal, and rage. Unfortunately, the controversy has already had devastating effects.
Conversations concerning the effects of public humiliation and the strains that people experience under constant public scrutiny have been sparked by this tragic ending, which has intensified the shock and sorrow surrounding the occurrence.
