There are rumours that a deceased woman is connected to the Baltasar Ebang Engonga case that is rocking Equatorial Guinea, and a video of her is currently making the rounds on social media. This information has to be rectified because it is wholly untrue.
In reality, the video in question depicts a woman who was murdered in Douala, Cameroon, in a criminal case unrelated to the Equatoguinean scandal. This misconception is especially unfortunate because it complicates an already complicated issue by adding false information.
In the Baltasar case, for example, private videos of the director of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) were circulated. One of the people named is the wife of the general supervisor of Equatoguinean presidential security, not the Douala victim as some people incorrectly assume.
It is vital to check sources and avoid spreading false rumours that could hurt the relatives of the victims in a situation when social media makes it easier for misleading information to excalate.
