Nigerian footballer Jude Ighalo’s ex-wife, Sonia Desuwa, has talked about Equatorial Guinea’s Baltasar Engonga suing his country’s government.

Recall that Baltasar Engonga, who was the director general of Equatorial Guinea’s National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF), was under investigation for corruption when tapes of him sleeping with over 400 women, including his brother’s wife and cousin, were found on his computer. The tapes were then leaked on social media.

Sonia Desuwa says Baltasar will win if he sues Equatorial Guinea

Baltasar Engonga’s videos soon spread on social media and became a trending topic that drew different hot takes.

Footballer Jude Ighalo’s ex-wife, Sonia Desuwa, also reacted to the scandal by examining it from a less popular angle. According to the public figure, Baltasar can sue Equatorial Guinea’s government and win.

Desuwa added that the officials investigating him had no right to release his private tapes to the public because they humiliated adults for something consensual.

In her words:

“As messy as everything is in Equatorial Guinea, if this guy sues the govt he will surely WIN.

"The officers had no right to release the videos to the World (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and so on...) the spouse of those involved should be the one dealing with him in court, humiliating adults for something consensual and someone had lost her life in the process. No proper training! same thing Nig officers can do.”

stillonbykes:

“Where will he submit the case? To the police chief whose wife dey among abi attorney general whose wife dey inside.Unless he goes to international court meanwhile If this guy documented 400 that means there are like 5000 undocumented cuz more women wouldn’t want to be documented.”

Maryjohn5042:

solexphere2:

“Me self I’m wondering why a whole government will release someone’s private videos to the world like what type of laws are they practicing over there?”
