Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Mangue, has promised to carry “severe measures” against government officials who engage in sex in their offices.
Mangue stated this after the over 400 sex tapes of the director general of the National Financial Investigation Agency, Baltasar Engonga, went viral on social media.
According to BBC, Mangue said that having sex in the office constitutes a violation of the code of conduct and the public ethics law.
He made this known via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, November 4.
Below are the severe measures taken after Engonga’s sex tapes went viral:
