Equatorial Guinea’s Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency, Baltasar Engonga, has publicly apologized to his wife and the people of Equatorial Guinea following a scandal involving multiple intimate videos.
Beyond Boders reports that authorities discovered over 400 videos allegedly showing Engonga, a married 54-year-old economist, with various women, including the wives and sisters of high-profile figures in the country. This discovery was made during an ongoing fraud investigation into his activities.
Reports indicate that officials found the tapes in Engonga’s home and office, stored on numerous CDs. The videos allegedly show him in private encounters with several women, including the wife of the Police Chief, a cousin, the President’s sister, and the wives of about 20 government ministers.
Engonga, often referred to by his nickname “Bello,” is said to have recorded these interactions with the consent of the women involved.
Some recordings reportedly took place in his office, which even showed the national flag in the background, causing public outrage.

In response to the scandal, Vice President Nguema Mangue suspended all government officials found participating in inappropriate activities within ministry offices. He stressed that ethical conduct and respect are essential for government trust and credibility.
Attorney General Nzang Nguema has also spoken out, warning that despite appearing consensual, such actions could bring health risks to the women and the community. He encouraged victims to report any coercion or abuse, aiming to create a safe environment for individuals affected.
In his defense, Engonga claimed the women pursued him, stating, “It’s not my fault; they wanted me.”
He also took to social media to apologize to his wife, expressing his trust in her strength. “You are not just my wife, but my hero,” he wrote, entrusting her with their children’s care should anything happen to him.
This scandal has pushed Equatorial Guinea’s government to take swift action to uphold integrity and enforce standards for respectful conduct among officials.
