Politics tamfitronics The Adulterous Drama
Last week, Baltasar brought the whole of Africa to a standstill after videos of him marinating women leaked. Over 400 videos are alleged to have leaked, and they include multiple women. Most of them are the wives of his relatives, siblings and the wives of politicians and public figures in Equatorial Guinea.

Following the risque leak, Equatorial Guinea effected a wholesale suspension of all officials who engaged in trysts within Government offices. Baltasar had mounted some of the women in the 400 videos in his work office, carefully monitoring the CCTV to ensure no one would bust him.
The Equatorial Guinea government also banned the sharing of the videos on social media, including via WhatsApp.
Details emerging from Equatorial Guinea suggested that the leaking of the 400 videos was part of a smear campaign against Baltasar.
The BBC reported that Baltasar, formerly the head of the National Financial Investigation Agency, is President Teodoro Obiang Nguema’s nephew. He is thought to be eying the country’s presidency when the President steps down. Obiang has ruled the Central African nation since 1979 and is the world’s longest-serving President.
Baltasar was arrested on October 25, accused of stealing a large amount of money from the government and putting it in secret accounts in the Cayman Islands.
He was then taken to Black Beach prison in the capital, Malabo. Authorities seized his phones and computers, and a few days later, private videos started to appear online.
The first batch of Baltasar’s videos dropped days later on Telegram and soon made their way to platforms like X and WhatsApp.
Equatoguinean activist Nsang Christia Esimi Cruz said the leak is part of succession battles in the country. He said Vice-President Teodoro Obiang Mangue, the President’s son, is elbowing out people who might challenge his way to the throne:
“What we are seeing is the end of an era, the end of the current president, and there is a succession [question]and this is the internal fighting we are seeing.”
