Ebang, the once powerful head of Equatorial Guinea’s Financial Investigation
Agency (ANIF), has fallen from grace in spectacular fashion.
The man who went viral in late 2024 after more than 400
videos of his escapades with different women leaked online has
now been sentenced to eight years in prison for embezzlement of Sh230 million (1 billion
CFA francs).
According to Supreme Court spokesperson, Hilario Mitogo,
Ebang siphoned funds meant for official travel, splurging the money on a wild
double life of women, luxury, and secret escapades.
Prosecutors painted him as a man who lived extravagantly
while abusing state resources to fuel his desires.
The court handed him eight years for embezzlement, four years and
five months for illicit enrichment, and six years and one day for abuse of
power - though the terms will run concurrently.
He was also fined $220,000 (about Ksh28.5 million).
In late 2024, Engonga shocked the nation after
over 400 private tapes emerged, reportedly featuring him with more than 100
women, some allegedly wives of top officials and aides.
The videos, filmed in hotels and offices, sent social media into a frenzy.
