Balthazar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, has recently sparked widespread controversy on social media following the leak of personal recordings. Engonga has been accused of using office surveillance tools to document more than 400 intimate encounters with various women, including some high-profile figures, married individuals, and those closely linked to the presidential circle.

Engonga’s videos began circulating widely on platforms like Telegram and X (formerly Twitter), showcasing footage reportedly taken in settings ranging from his office to public spaces. The explicit nature of these tapes, alongside their content, has made him the subject of intense public scrutiny and discussion online.
According to the local news outlet, Ahora EG, Engonga—who also goes by the nickname “Bello”—is embroiled in a scandal unlike any in Equatorial Guinea’s recent history. The reports detail Engonga’s intimate encounters with multiple women, some of whom are married, within the premises of his office. Some clips even feature the national flag in the background. This controversy has impacted the country’s image, prompting Equatorial Guinea’s government to issue a statement condemning the behavior and committing to reinforce expectations for the conduct of public officials.
The government has reacted swiftly to the scandal. Attorney General Nzang Nguema commented on the legality of the situation, emphasizing that consensual acts alone do not violate the law unless coercion or violence is involved. He also highlighted health concerns, stressing the potential risk of disease transmission through these interactions, which raises further public safety concerns.
Vice President Nguema Mangue, in a post on X, reaffirmed the government’s stance, highlighting that such behavior grossly violates both the Code of Conduct and the Public Ethics Law. Mangue stressed that respect and ethical behavior are crucial in public administration, declaring a zero-tolerance policy for any actions that jeopardize public trust.
This case has led Equatorial Guinea to take stringent actions, suspending any officials involved in similar activities within ministry offices. The government’s response aims to set a clear standard for public officials and protect the integrity of the country’s public institutions.
