Cristel Nchama, one of the women allegedly involved in the widely circulated sex tapes featuring Baltasar Ebang Engonga, former director-general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has lodged an official complaint with the National Gendarmerie in Malabo.
This comes amid a scandal that has sent shockwaves across the nation. Engonga faced public backlash after a fraud investigation led authorities to search his home and office, where they reportedly uncovered around 400 explicit videos.
These recordings allegedly show Engonga in intimate acts with numerous women, including prominent figures such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, the sister of Equatorial Guinea’s president, the wife of the police director-general, and roughly 20 wives of ministers.
The videos, which were reportedly filmed in Engonga’s office, hotels, and even toilets, were said to have been recorded with the consent of the participants. However, the leak has caused significant public outcry and personal damage to those involved.
According to Real Equatorial Guinea, Cristel Nchama’s complaint states that she was in a four-year relationship with Engonga and has felt deeply humiliated by the release of the videos.
She accused Engonga of misleading her into trusting him and revealed that she initially resisted being filmed, believing that any recordings would be deleted.
“I am humiliated. It is my reputation, my honour. I want to know where these images came from and why he kept the images,” Cristel said, demanding compensation for the damage to her reputation.
The fallout from the scandal has been swift, with Engonga being dismissed from his position on Thursday.
Additionally, the government has suspended all officials reportedly involved in sexual activities within ministry offices, signaling a crackdown on misconduct among public officials.
