Engonga was sacked after about 400 tapes with explicit content of his rendevous with high-profile women in Equatorial Guinea were discovered during an investigation.<\/p>\n

Real Equatorial Guinea reported that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo ordered his dismissal following the disclosure of the intimate videos.<\/p>\n

Citing Decree No. 118\/2024, dated 4 November, the newspaper said Engonga\u2019s dismissal was based on alleged misconduct in office, alongside family and social behaviour deemed incompatible with public office.<\/p>\n

Engonga\u2019s travail began after videos containing his intimate moments with some VIP ladies and his cousins were leaked online.<\/p>\n

The leaked videos have continued to generate controversy in the social media space.<\/p>\n

Joining the list of those who have condemned Engonga is the First Lady of Equatorial Guinea, Constancia Mangue Obiang<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s wife expressed outrage over the scandal during a meeting with Prime Minister, Manuel Osa Nsue.<\/p>\n

Mrs Obiang called for immediate government intervention to uphold the dignity of Equatoguinean women and protect their privacy in the digital age.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on Facebook, the First Lady\u2019s Press Office stressed that while the government has advanced gender equality, proactive measures are essential\u2014not only to respond to incidents like these but also to prevent them\u2014to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all women.<\/p>\n
