S3x Video Scandal: Engonga Plans New Moves After Court Acquittal

Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the great-nephew of Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang, has been acquitted by the Supreme Court on all charges related to a viral scandal involving intimate videos.

The court ruled there was insufficient evidence to proceed, confirming that all participants in the videos were consenting adults. Medical reports also verified that Mr. Engonga had not transmitted any sexually transmitted infections, further cementing his exoneration.

GWG.ng reports that the case, which attracted widespread attention, began when private videos of Mr. Engonga surfaced online, triggering both public outrage and international scrutiny. Interestingly, several married men whose wives appeared in the videos have since thanked Mr. Engonga, claiming the footage exposed hidden aspects of their relationships and, in some cases, led to divorces.

Following his acquittal, Mr. Engonga announced plans to sue those responsible for leaking the videos. He described the incident as a serious violation of his privacy, adding that the ordeal caused significant distress to his family, particularly his wife.

Before his legal troubles, Mr. Engonga was the head of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency, where he was tasked with fighting financial crimes such as money laundering. However, his arrest on October 25 for alleged embezzlement of state funds added another layer to the scandal. Authorities claimed he hid millions in offshore accounts, though Mr. Engonga has not publicly addressed these accusations.

While imprisoned in Malabo’s infamous Black Beach prison—renowned for its harsh treatment of detainees—investigators confiscated his phones and computers. Soon after, the compromising videos began circulating online, leading to speculation about a targeted smear campaign.

Mr. Engonga’s acquittal marks a turning point in a case that has dominated headlines for months. While the scandal exposed personal and political tensions, his forthcoming legal actions may set a precedent for privacy rights in Equatorial Guinea. For now, questions linger over the origin of the leaks and the unresolved embezzlement charges.
