Baltasar Engong and wife of a Minister
By Victory Oghene
The social media is abuzz with the sex tapes of Baltasar Engong, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency who was entangled in a sex scandal involving the wives of notable people in Equatorial Guinea.
So bad is the situation that the Government of Equatorial Guinea has imposed restrictions on its citizens from downloading and sharing multimedia files using mobile data on WhatsApp.
Engong’s residence was searched by anti-graft officials who came across several CDs that later revealed his sexcapades with different married women.

It was learnt that the illicit affairs were seen in sex tapes recovered from his house in the course of a fraud investigation against the 54-year-old economist which resulted in the search of his house and office on impromptu notice.
The building was searched by anti-graft officials who came across several CDs that later revealed his sexcapades with different married women.
The video showed contacts with high-profile individuals such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, the President of Equatorial Guinea’s sister, the Director-General of Police’s wife, and the wives of over 20 ministers among others.
The video was alleged to have been recorded with his permission and has since gone viral online, sparking a media frenzy.
According to a report by the local media outlet Ahora EG, Engonga has been involved in a sexual scandal unmatched in Equatorial Guinea’s history since last October.
On account of the sex scandal, a local news platform, Ahora EG, on Tuesday reported that the citizens had been complaining about inability to share photos, videos, and audio when using a mobile data connection, leading users to rely exclusively on WiFi networks to share such content.
“Currently, users are forced to rely exclusively on WiFi connections, which not only limits their ability to communicate but also interferes with their daily activities.
“This situation has generated a heated debate among the population, where many believe that the measure seems to be more focused on controlling than facilitating communication,” the report added.
