Senior civil servants have been accused of sex tapes, which have caused scandal in Equatorial Guinea.

Hundreds of sex tapes involving a high-ranking civil servant in Equatorial Guinea have been leaked on social media, prompting authorities to curb their spread. 

The videos show the married director of the National Financial Investigation Agency, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, with various partners, including the wives of prominent officials, at his finance ministry office. 

The country's vice president, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, announced that the government would suspend all civil servants who have had sexual relations in the ministries' offices, as this constitutes a flagrant violation of the code of conduct and the law on public ethics. 

The affair has blown up to unprecedented proportions due to the notoriety of the officials involved.

Obiang has given 24 hours' notice to the telecommunications ministry, regulator, and telephone companies to curb the distribution of pornographic videos. Engonga shot more than 400 pornographic videos in his office.

Ebang Engonga, known as "Bello" due to his attractive appearance, is a married father and son of Baltasar Engonga Edjo, the current Chairman of the Commission of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community.

The sex tapes were leaked on social networks during his time in custody at Malabo's Black Beach prison. 

Equatorial Guinea's chief prosecutor, Anatolio Nzang Nguema, has assured TVGE that if medical examinations reveal he is infected with a sexually transmitted disease, he would be prosecuted for an offense against public health. 

Authorities have taken measures to curb the spread of the sex tapes, and social media is filled with speculation about more videos involving other individuals.
