The Government of Equatorial Guinea has dismissed Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), following the leak of his explicit videos online
The footage, which depicted Engonga engaging in intimate encounters with several high-profile women, quickly gained widespread attention, sparking public outrage.
President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has now ordered Engonga’s removal from office.
The scandal has drawn criticism from all over Africa.
A decree, No. 118/2024, dated November, formally announced Engonga’s dismissal.
