Equatorial Guinea Official Looped in Scandal as Wife’s Sex Tape with Another Man Leaks
The wife of Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has become the centre of controversy following revelations of infidelity.
The incident came to light after popular social commentator Martins Ortse, known as VeryDarkMan, shared the news on Instagram.
Ortse, who frequently comments on African socio-political issues, posted images taken from the video footage showing Engonga’s wife in an intimate moment with another man.
Expressing his disbelief, he commented on the sensational nature of the scandal. Ortse noted, “Just when I thought this story was over, it’s taken another twist.
I just saw footage of his wife with another man—it’s unbelievable.”
The Instagram post quickly gained traction, with followers reacting to the ongoing scandal and its impact on Engonga’s public image.
This revelation follows closely on the heels of an earlier scandal involving Engonga himself, who was reportedly implicated in a series of misconduct allegations.
During a government-led investigation into a fraud case, Engonga was found to have amassed hundreds of compromising videos involving various women.
The released footage and accompanying allegations have only fueled the conversation, drawing attention to issues of public integrity and privacy.
In response, Constancia Mangue Obiang, Equatorial Guinea’s First Lady, addressed the scandal with indignation.
At a high-level meeting with Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue, she condemned the ongoing revelations, which she said brought shame to the country’s leadership.
The First Lady expressed deep concern for the public image of Equatoguinean women, emphasizing the need for stricter protections to safeguard their dignity and privacy in a rapidly digitalizing society.
Her public stance has highlighted the importance of addressing the misuse of digital platforms in exposing private matters.
Following the mounting evidence and increased public scrutiny, Baltasar Ebang Engonga was officially dismissed from his post and detained by authorities.
Candidates scheduled to retake the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will start receiving text messages from today, Thursday. A total of 379,997 candidates across five South East states and Lagos are expected to resit the exam. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, confirmed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
He explained that 206,610 candidates in 65 centers in Lagos and 173,387 candidates across 92 centers in the Owerri zone of the South East were affected. Oloyede took full responsibility for what he described as a “sabotage” of the UTME and apologized to the candidates. Out of the 1.9 million who sat for the exam, more than 1.5 million scored below 200 out of a possible 400 marks.
A lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Christian Okeke, has called on the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, to go beyond shedding tears and take full accountability by resigning from his position.
This comes after JAMB admitted to technical issues during the 2025 UTME. Okeke criticized the decision to have candidates in some centers rewrite the exam, describing it as unfair and emotionally distressing. He insisted that only the release of the original results can truly correct the situation.
According to him, JAMB initially defended the poor outcomes, where over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200, claiming it reflected their academic ability. He argued that it took public outcry and pressure from stakeholders before the board acknowledged its failures.
He described Oloyede’s emotional apology as insufficient, saying, “Tears won’t fix the damage. His resignation is the next responsible step.” Okeke also condemned the planned resit for candidates in 65 Lagos centers and 92 across the South East, calling it an inconsiderate move that shows a lack of empathy for the affected students and their families.
Activist and president of the North Central Youth Council, Sunday Asuku, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider replacing Vice President Kashim Shettima with a Christian candidate in the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Monday, Asuku stressed that Tinubu’s choice of vice president could make or break his chances for re-election. He argued that selecting a Christian vice president would not only be symbolic but also a strategic and unifying move for Nigeria’s democracy.
Asuku mentioned that the 2027 elections will be a crucial test of Nigeria’s commitment to unity and inclusivity. He pointed out that the Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 elections created division, and that addressing this imbalance with a Christian running mate would help strengthen national cohesion.
He went on to say that religious balance in leadership is still a vital necessity in Nigeria’s diverse society. “Tinubu has a chance to correct the mistake of 2023 and make a strong statement of inclusion. This opportunity should not be missed,” Asuku said.
