The embattled Director of Equatorial Guinea’s National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), Baltasar Engonga, has responded to allegations of a massive sex scandal involving hundreds of private recordings, which reportedly include videos of high-profile individuals, including relatives of the country’s president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
The scandal emerged amid a fraud investigation into Engonga’s activities, during which investigators allegedly discovered over 400 explicit videos stored on his computer.
Among the individuals reportedly filmed are members of Equatorial Guinea’s elite, including the president’s sister and close relatives of other officials.
The leaked recordings said to have been consensually filmed, have sparked widespread public outrage and intense scrutiny of the government’s top anti-corruption official.
Responding to the allegations on social media platform X, Engonga denied the authenticity of the videos, attributing the scandal to what he described as the work of “enemies” intent on tarnishing his reputation.
The 54-year-old official dismissed rumours connecting one of the supposed victims to a recent suicide, labelling them as untrue.
The scandal has shaken Equatorial Guinea’s political landscape and raised questions about privacy and misconduct among top officials. Engonga, who was taken into custody following the revelation, continues to deny any involvement as authorities proceed with their investigation.
“I want to tell the People of Equatorial Guinea that those videos are AI edited. My enemies are trying so hard to bring me down
“Ignore the rumours about someone’s death linked to the leaked videos. They’re unfounded”, he said.
Engonga said he had only one wife and six children, adding that she is his hero.
“I only have one wife and my 6 children. They keep me going. We are a happy family. They are my everything.
“If anything ever happens, you are strong enough to guide our children through anything. I trust you completely. You are not just my wife, but my hero”, he added.
