Equatorial Guinea’s anti-corruption chief, Baltasar Ebang, has been detained following the leak of explicit videos involving him and numerous women. The videos, which have been widely circulated online, have sparked outrage and a formal investigation.

The country’s attorney general, Anatolio Nguema, has initiated an inquiry into the matter, citing potential public health concerns. The leaked footage reportedly shows Ebang engaging in unprotected sexual encounters with multiple women, including those married to influential figures.

It remains unclear how long the videos had been circulating online before their recent public exposure. However, initial reports suggest they first surfaced on November 2.

In response to the scandal, Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President, Teodoro Nguema, issued a statement on social media condemning the behavior. He emphasized that sexual activity within government workplaces is strictly prohibited and warned of disciplinary action for those who violate this rule.
