Equatorial Guinea has been rocked by scandal as private videos leaked on social media allegedly show a senior finance ministry official engaging in sexual activities with multiple women in various locations, including his office. The government has taken swift action in response to the videos, citing concerns about the country’s image.
Reports indicate that a raid on the finance official’s home uncovered hundreds of amateur videos, some of which reportedly featured wives of other high-ranking government officials and family members. While the authenticity of the videos has not been verified by Reuters, the scandal has caused significant turmoil within the government.
Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue has implemented new measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. These measures include the installation of security cameras in all government offices and increased security protocols. The decision to take action was made during emergency meetings with the Supreme Court, attorney general, and other officials.
Individuals implicated in the sex tapes will face suspension, although their names have not been disclosed. Additionally, those responsible for security in the buildings where the videos were allegedly filmed will be reprimanded for failing to fulfill their duties.
President Teodoro Obiang, who has been in power for 45 years, leads Equatorial Guinea. The scandal has brought unwanted attention to the small Central African nation, prompting the government to take decisive steps to address the situation and protect its reputation.
