Recall that Baltasar Engonga, who was the director general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), was under investigation for corruption when tapes of him sleeping with over 400 women, including his brother’s wife and cousin, were found on his computer. The tapes were then leaked on social media.

Footballer Jude Ighalo’s ex-wife, Sonia Desuwa, also reacted to the scandal by examining it from a less popular angle. According to the public figure, Baltasar can sue Equatorial Guinea’s government and win.

Desuwa added that the officials investigating him had no right to release his private tapes to the public because they humiliated adults for something consensual.

In her words:

“As messy as everything is in Equatorial Guinea, if this guy sues the govt he will surely WIN.
"The officers had no right to release the videos to the World (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and so on...) the spouse of those involved should be the one dealing with him in court, humiliating adults for something consensual and someone had lost her life in the process. No proper training! same thing Nig officers can do.”
