This is not the first time an officer's sex tape has been leaked on social media.

The Vice President for Defense and Security said: As a government, we cannot continue to witness the destruction of families.

He is also related to the veteran president of this country. State broadcaster TVGE said the sex video was leaked on social media while he was being held at the notorious Black Beach Prison in Malabo on charges of embezzling public funds. Equatorial Guinea's chief prosecutor Anatolio Nzan Djema assured TVGE that Ivan Ngunga would be prosecuted for violating "public health" if a medical examination revealed that Baltasar Ebang Engonga was "infected with a sexually transmitted disease." Witnesses told AFP that internet traffic in the country, particularly image downloads, had been significantly affected since authorities took measures to prevent the publication of sex videos. Social media is abuzz with speculation that more videos featuring other people, both men and women, could be released in the coming days.
