The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Equatorial Guinea is currently investigating Baltasar Ebang Engonga, popularly known as “Bello,” for potential public health violations.

Ebang Engonga, the General Director of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), is already behind bars on corruption charges, but recent explicit videos circulating on social media have sparked a new wave of scrutiny.

These videos reportedly show Ebang Engonga engaging in unprotected sexual activities with several women, including those married to prominent figures in Equatorial Guinea, as well as high-profile single women and even some pregnant.

It is claimed that these encounters were filmed with the women’s consent, which may shield him from charges of violating personal integrity.

However, the public health implications of such behavior are raising serious concerns, especially regarding the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

The Attorney General has noted that while the footage suggests that the women involved were not coerced, consensual sexual relations do not constitute a crime unless there is evidence of coercion or violence.

This situation highlights the critical importance of victims reporting incidents of sexual abuse or assault.

Moreover, the Attorney General emphasized that the health risks extend beyond the individuals directly involved to their partners and the wider community.

The potential for contagious diseases to spread through these interactions adds urgency to the ongoing investigation.

Nzang Nguema has also called for a supportive environment for victims, stressing the need for individuals to feel safe and empowered to report such incidents.
