Civil servants caught having sex in their offices will face “severe measures”, the vice-president of Equatorial Guinea has warned after hundreds of allegedly pornographic videos were leaked to the public.
The videos reportedly involve high-ranking civil servant Baltasar Ebang Engonga having sex with various women – including the wives of prominent officials – in his office.
Mr Engonga is head of the country’s National Financial Investigation Agency and also a relative of the country’s president.
On his Facebook page, Mr Engonga has posted that he is feeling sad, along with a photo of him with a woman and children captioned: “Family is everything”.
Vice-President Teodoro Obiang Mangue said any officials found engaging in sex acts at work would be suspended as this was a “flagrant violation of the code of conduct”.
He has also ordered the installation of surveillance cameras in courts and ministries to combat “indecent and illicit acts”.
