The government in Equatorial Guinea has commenced a probe into hundreds of leaked pornographic videos allegedly involving high-ranking civil servant, Baltasar Engonga, having sx with various women, including wives of prominent officials in his office.
The government has further ordered the installation of surveillance cameras in courts and ministries to combat “indecent and illicit acts.”
It also announced that it was suspending officials involved in the scandal, according to a statement issued by the Equatorial Guinea Press and Information Office, published on the government’s website on Tuesday.
Vice-President Teodoro Mangue on Tuesday said any official found engaging in sacts at work would be sanctioned as this was a “flagrant violation of the code of conduct.”
Local media reports said hundreds of amateur videos had been found at the finance official’s home during a raid associated with a corruption investigation. The women featured in the videos appeared to include wives of other powerful government figures and other family members, local media said.
Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the videos.
On Tuesday, Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue ordered new measures to prevent judiciary and ministry officials from engaging in illicit acts at work, a government statement said. These included installing security cameras in all offices as well as stepped-up security.
“The executive is taking this decision following the videos of a sl nature that have gone viral on social media in recent days and that denigrate the country’s image,” the state information agency said in the statement.
The statement said the measures were agreed during emergency meetings with the Supreme Court, attorney general and others.
It said those appearing in the sx tapes would be suspended, without providing names, while those responsible for securing the buildings in which the videos were allegedly filmed would be reprimanded for failing to do their jobs.
President Teodoro Obiang has ruled Equatorial Guinea, a nation of some 1.7 million people on the west coast of Central Africa for 45 years and is the world’s longest-serving president.
