The President of Equatorial Guinea, Nguema Mbasogo,has fired Baltasar Ebang Engonga following controversies trailing his alleged sex tapes.
According to Real Equatorial Guinea, the President fired Engonga for “irregularities committed in the exercise of his functions, as well as inappropriate family and social conduct for the performance of public functions, as stated in Decree number 118/2024, dated November 4.”
The president nominated Zenón Obiang Obiang Avomo as the next Director General of the National Agency for Financial Investigation.
He succeeded Baltasar Ebang Engonga after a stunning sex scandal involving public authorities.
Ahora EG, an Equatorial Guinea-based media site, reported this on Thursday.
The leadership shift comes after Engonga was arrested on suspicions that he made over 400 pornographic recordings featuring the wives of key Equatorial Guinean personalities.
The films were purportedly discovered during an unexpected search by ANIF investigators looking into financial irregularities involving Engonga, a well-known economist.
