Equatorial Guinea First Lady, Mangue React To Viral Sex Video Of Baltasar Ebang, Says It’s Denigrate Their Women

Equatorial Guinea First Lady, Constancia Mangue Obiang, has expressed outrage over the sex scandal involving the former Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) Baltasar Ebang Engonga.

Engonga was dismissed after widely circulating sex videos involving him and numerous women surfaced online.

The First Lady expressed her indignation during a meeting with Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue, who oversees administrative coordination.

Mrs Constancia Mangue Obiang also sought to know the strategy that the Government proposes to mitigate the situation, which according to her, “does nothing but distort and denigrate the image of the Guineo-Ecuadorian woman”

In a statement posted on Facebook Wednesday, November 6, 2024, the First Lady Press Office (Ofiprensa Primera Dama) announced that Mrs Obiang called for immediate government intervention to uphold the dignity of Equatoguinean women and protect their privacy in the digital age.

She stressed that while the government has advanced gender equality, proactive measures are essential—not only to respond to incidents like these but also to prevent them—to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all women.

Prime Minister Osa Nsue also acknowledged the situation’s impact and emphasised the importance of measures safeguarding individual privacy and the nation’s public image.

He further noted that the government is contemplating stricter privacy laws as it grapples with the scandal’s impact on the nation’s public image and gender equality initiatives.
