Baltazar Ebang Engonga, the Director General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency, is at the center of the controversy after authorities discovered over 400 explicit videos in his apartment during a surprise search for evidence related to alleged corruption and fraud.
These videos allegedly show Baltazar engaging in affairs with multiple high-profile women, including relatives and spouses of influential figures. The scandal has taken the internet by storm, with many weighing in on the situation. Celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut even shared his thoughts on the leaked tapes, revealing his favorite video and praising the woman’s beauty. Davido joined the conversation, jokingly hailing Baltazar’s bedroom prowess and saying he “wiped out the whole government cabinet”.
His comment generated over 26,000 likes and 3,000 replies, showing just how much buzz this scandal has created online.
It’s worth noting that this scandal has sparked critical legal and ethical questions, with many debating the implications of recording and potentially distributing intimate encounters without clear consent ¹. The government has responded quickly, with the Vice President denouncing the situation as a breach of public ethics and pledging a thorough investigation.
