Cristel Nchama, one of the women allegedly featured in the viral sex tapes involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former director-general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has filed a formal complaint with the National Gendarmerie of Malabo.
This development follows a major scandal that has shaken the nation.
Engonga came under public scrutiny after authorities conducting a search of his home and office as part of a fraud investigation discovered around 400 explicit videos.
These tapes purportedly featured him engaging in intimate acts with multiple women, including high-profile individuals such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, the sister of the president of Equatorial Guinea, the wife of the director general of police, and approximately 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.
