One of the women involved in the Equatorial Guinea s*x scandal linked to the country’s financial crime chief, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, has reportedly taken her own life.
The unnamed woman allegedly committed suicide after her video began trending online, as reported by City Digest Kenya. A video shared by the publication shows family members mourning her death.
Ebang, who serves as the head of the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), has been arrested in connection with explicit recordings of his personal encounters.
These tapes, which are said to number over 300, feature Ebang with various women, some of whom are married, including the wife of the head of Presidential security and the spouse of his own brother.
The videos, recorded in locations such as his office, hotels, and public spaces, were discovered during a corruption investigation.
Initially detained on corruption charges, the probe revealed the existence of these recordings on his personal devices, leading to their subsequent leak and widespread outrage.
This scandal is particularly sensational given Ebang’s prominent public profile; he is married and a father of six.
