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.

The strike is scheduled to begin today, October 12, 2026. According to the union’s chairman, the union had been engaging the Taraba State Government over its outstanding demands since February 2026.
“The union had exercised considerable patience and demonstrated its commitment to dialogue since February 2026, when it began engaging the Taraba State Government over the outstanding issues,” Mbave said.
“The union had earlier suspended its planned industrial action following an appeal by the government for additional time through the Office of the Head of Civil Service, in the interest of maintaining industrial harmony,” the chairman added.
The Chairman of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Torseer Yina, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the ancient town.
The curfew takes effect from Thursday, October 8, 2026, following unrest and violent protests in the area.
According to reports, the action was taken to contain the unrest and violent protests by members of BEMOA following the death of one of its members by unknown gunmen.
The protest, which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums, turned violent after an angry mob burnt two vehicles belonging to the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.
The Gboko council chairman said the curfew takes effect immediately and warned that anyone caught flouting the order or breaching public peace would be decisively dealt with.
