Scandal Erupts in Equatorial Guinea: President's Nephew Caught in Leaked Sex Tape and Financial Misconduct Allegations

Equatorial Guinea’s ruling family is facing a scandal involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the nephew of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema and the country’s tax administration director. The scandal erupted as explicit videos reportedly featuring Engonga and multiple women surfaced online. Some footage shows these acts occurring in an office setting with the national flag in view, further amplifying the public outcry. The women depicted are said to be wives or daughters of high-ranking officials, including ministers, dignitaries, and military generals.


Alongside the scandalous nature of the videos, there are reports of suspicious financial activities linked to Engonga involving questionable money transfers. The incident has drawn attention to issues of misuse of public office and funds, especially given Engonga’s influential role within Equatorial Guinea’s tax department. This scandal unfolds against a backdrop of existing criticism against the ruling Obiang family, known for its extended hold on power and accusations of corruption.


This episode has sparked significant discussion on social media, with citizens and observers criticizing the apparent culture of impunity among the nation’s elite. It also raises questions about the consequences for those involved and whether this incident will impact the ruling family's standing domestically and internationally.
