Cristel Nchama, one of the women seen in viral sex tapes allegedly involving Baltasar Engonga, the former director-general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has publicly accused him of betrayal.
In a formal complaint filed with the National Gendarmerie in Malabo, Nchama expressed feelings of deep betrayal, saying she had been in a four-year relationship with Engonga and had initially resisted being filmed, trusting that any recordings would be kept private and later deleted.
Engonga’s reputation came under intense scrutiny when investigators, in the midst of a fraud investigation, searched his residence and office, reportedly finding around 400 explicit videos.
These tapes allegedly feature Engonga with multiple women, including close relatives, public officials’ spouses, and other prominent figures, in settings such as his office, hotels, and bathrooms.
According to sources, the encounters were consensual, though the public nature of the videos’ release has led to widespread outrage.
Nchama revealed that Engonga had “misled” her into thinking her privacy would be protected and expressed profound distress over the public exposure of the videos, which, she claims, has severely damaged her reputation.
“I am humiliated,” Nchama stated. “It is my reputation, my honour. I want to know where these images came from and why he kept the images.”
Adding to her grievances, Nchama accused a man named Bello of distributing the videos online, compounding her sense of betrayal and emotional distress.
Along with filing her complaint, she is seeking reparations from Engonga for the alleged harm caused to her dignity and reputation.
The government responded to the scandal by dismissing Engonga from his role at ANIF and suspending several other officials implicated in related misconduct within government premises.
