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.
