In the wake of a high-profile sex tape scandal, Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President, Teddy Nguema, has announced that surveillance cameras will be installed in state offices across the country.
This decision follows the shocking revelation of over 400 explicit videos involving Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Director of the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), and several women, some of whom are married to prominent officials.
The scandal erupted when authorities discovered that Ebang, who was already under investigation for corruption, had recorded explicit encounters with multiple women in various locations, including his office, hotels, and public spaces.
Some of the women featured in the videos are reported to be the wives of high-ranking officials, including the wife of the head of presidential security and Ebang’s own sister-in-law.
The videos were found during a corruption probe, leading to Ebang’s arrest and suspension.

In response to the public outcry, Vice President Nguema ordered the installation of surveillance systems in all state offices.
The move is part of a broader initiative to enforce stricter public service ethics and hold officials accountable for their actions.
“Our goal is to ensure that public officials comply with the law and uphold the integrity of the administration,” Nguema said in a statement.
“We will not tolerate behavior that undermines our government’s reputation, and those responsible for such actions will face severe consequences.”
The Vice President’s office stressed that the new surveillance measures are designed to eradicate illicit activities and corruption within government offices.
The decision has been met with mixed reactions, as some view it as an attempt to restore trust, while others question its effectiveness in addressing deeper issues of accountability.
As the scandal continues to unfold, the installation of cameras in state offices marks a strong message from the government that misconduct will not be tolerated.
However, it remains to be seen how the public and officials will respond to the new surveillance measures in the coming months.
