A new scandal has engulfed Equatorial Guinea, following the release of explicit footage featuring Mrs. Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the wife of the recently dismissed Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF).
The video, showing Mrs. Engonga with another man, was shared widely on social media by the outspoken commentator Martins Ortse, also known as “VeryDarkMan.”
Controversial Leak Causes Stir on Social Media
In a post on Instagram on Saturday, Ortse sparked widespread attention with his provocative commentary, saying:
“Just when I thought it was all over about this Equatorial Guinea man, the whole thing is getting more interesting… If you see how another man was na*cking his wife.”
His post, along with screenshots from the video, quickly went viral, triggering heated discussions across social media platforms.
The Scandal Deepens
This latest revelation comes on the heels of Baltasar Engonga’s own scandal, which saw him involved in a separate controversy. Investigations uncovered that Engonga possessed over 400 explicit videos featuring various women, a discovery that led to his dismissal and subsequent arrest.
The Affair of Mrs. Engonga further fuels public outrage, raising questions about privacy and moral integrity in the country’s political elite.
First Lady’s Strong Statement on Digital Privacy
In response to the growing scandal, Equatorial Guinea’s First Lady, Constancia Mangue Obiang, expressed her concerns during a meeting with Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue. She condemned the incident, emphasizing that such leaks not only violate individual dignity but also challenge the standing of Equatoguinean women.
“This scandal not only affects individuals but challenges the dignity of Equatoguinean women and highlights urgent issues around digital privacy,” said Constancia Mangue Obiang.
Her remarks point to a broader conversation about the lack of privacy protections in the digital age, particularly for women, as incidents like this continue to raise concerns about the misuse of personal content online.
Growing Calls for Privacy Reforms
As the controversy continues to unfold, calls for stronger digital privacy laws and protections for women in Equatorial Guinea are growing louder. The scandal has sparked a broader national debate about the intersection of politics, privacy, and the digital landscape in the country.
