Mr. Engonga, son of Baltasar Engonga Edjoo, President of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), is accused of embezzling almost $1 billion and of having extramarital affairs with the wives and daughters of some of the most well-known people in the region, according to social media reports that went viral under the nickname “Bello.”
According to reports, the crisis started when investigators discovered the scope of the alleged affairs while seizing Mr. Engonga’s computer equipment during a corruption investigation. According to reports, his lovers include close relatives like his younger brother’s wife and his uncle’s expectant wife, as well as the spouses of influential public figures including the Attorney General, the Director of Security, and several ministers.
The public has been surprised by the news, which has sparked concerns about possible disputes and severe divides among Equatorial Guinea’s elite. The controversy has been exacerbated by the outcry on social media, especially on platform X (previously Twitter), where numerous users have posted excerpts of the tapes.
The distribution of these tapes was allegedly planned by a member of the presidential security team, whose wife is also said to be one of the ladies involved.
