The former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, has been remanded in Malabo’s Black Beach Prison.
The embattled former anti-graft chief was arrested days ago
for allegedly recording over 400 s#x tapes involving the wives of prominent
figures in the country.
This scandal surfaced during a fraud investigation into the
54-year-old economist, resulting in an impromptu search of his home and office
by ANIF officials, who reportedly discovered several CDs that revealed his
s#xu@l encounters with different married women.
As the footage leaked online, causing a media uproar, Equatorial Guinea’s President, Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, dismissed Engonga.
According to Decree No. 118/2024, dated 4th November, the
dismissal was due to “irregularities committed in the exercise of his
functions, as well as inappropriate family and social conduct for the
performance of public duties.”
A viral video surfaced on social media on Friday, showing
Engonga handcuffed on both hands and legs during a court appearance.
Confirming the situation, French online blog Afrikmatin
reported that Engonga, who was officially removed from his role on November 6,
2024, was subsequently chained and transferred to Malabo Central Prison. He
faces charges of corruption and embezzlement.
Additionally, online newspaper UGStandard reported that the
s#x tapes began circulating on social networks while Engonga was already held
at Malabo’s notorious Black Beach Prison on charges of embezzling public funds,
as reported by state television, TVGE.
In a fact-checking report published Wednesday, Dubawa
verified that Engonga had indeed been taken into custody on corruption charges
and is currently being held in Black Beach Prison.
