BALTASAR EBANG ENGONGA Facing Prisonment For Embezzlement, Abuse of office, Illicit Enrichment/ MORE

In November 2024, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, a former Equatoguinean public official, was at the centre of a scandal that broke the internet. Baltasar’s explicit tapes didn’t just make him infamous; they gave him the biggest embarrassment of his life. However, from all indications, that is now the least of his worries following a recent report that he may be facing a lengthy prison sentence. That’s not all; the 47-year-old father of six, popularly known as Bello, may be facing a hefty fine running into millions of dollars, after kissing his career goodbye too. At the height of his arrest, there were whispers that Engonga's downfall was politically motivated by his uncle, the president of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema. It’s no secret that President Teodoro is the world’s longest-serving president, having been in power since 1979, a tenure that spans a remarkable 46 years. The 82-year-old president profited massively from Equatorial Guinea's oil boom and is still profiting from the country’s now-dwindling oil reserves, while the rest of the people suffer in abject poverty. The few elite enjoying the country's wealth include those in the government cabinet, like his son, Theodoro Obiang Junior, now vice president, who is known for living lavishly and once owned a 275 thousand dollar crystal-encrusted glove worn by the late music legend, Michael Jackson. Baltasar Engonga was no different. Despite being the anti-graft boss, he was known for his YOLO lifestyle until the president heard that his nephew was one of those scheming to replace him. Unfortunately, whether politically motivated or not, there is substantial evidence to lock Bello away for a very long time. The question is how many years is he looking at? What is his side of the story? Is there hope for freedom for him shortly? #BaltasarEbangEngonga
