“I Dated Baltasar Engonga for Over Four Years, and He Betrayed Me” – Woman at the Center of Viral Controversy Speaks
Cristel Nchama, one of the women featured in the viral videos allegedly linked to Baltasar Engonga, the former director-general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has taken a brave step by filing a formal complaint with the National Gendarmerie in Malabo. The case, which has sent shockwaves through the nation, involves over 400 explicit videos reportedly discovered during an investigation into fraud. These videos feature Engonga with multiple women, and their public release has ignited a storm of controversy.
The footage, which has since gone viral, allegedly shows Engonga with a variety of women, including family members of powerful government officials. Among those named are his brother’s wife, a cousin, the sister of the country’s president, and the wives of several prominent ministers. The videos were recorded in different locations, including Engonga’s office, hotels, and private spaces, with the consent of the women involved.
For Nchama, the exposure of the videos has caused immense personal distress. In her formal complaint, she disclosed that she had been in a relationship with Engonga for four years and expressed deep shock at the public release of the videos, which she claims have severely damaged her reputation.
“I trusted him,” Nchama explained. “I never imagined these videos would be shared publicly, and now I am left with the consequences of a betrayal I never saw coming.”
Nchama also clarified that when the videos were initially recorded, she was under the impression that they would be erased. She feels deeply deceived by Engonga, accusing him of misleading her and violating her trust. In her complaint, she asked for justice and reparations for the damage to her image and dignity.
The scandal has had far-reaching consequences for Engonga. Following the public uproar, the government swiftly dismissed him from his high-ranking position at ANIF. Additionally, authorities have suspended several other public officials believed to have been involved in similar activities within government offices.
This series of events has sparked a larger conversation about integrity and professionalism, particularly within the government. It has become clear that the leak of these videos is not just a personal betrayal for Nchama but also a breach of public trust. As the investigation unfolds, many are calling for stricter oversight of government employees and a closer look at how personal and professional boundaries can sometimes blur in positions of power.
For Nchama, the public airing of these intimate moments has been a painful ordeal. Still, her decision to step forward with a formal complaint highlights the importance of accountability and respect in both personal relationships and public life. As the story continues to develop, it is clear that this scandal has raised significant questions about privacy, trust, and the responsibilities of those in positions of power.
