Malabo, Equatorial Guinea — A shocking new twist in the ongoing scandal involving prominent Equatorial Guinea businessman Baltasar Ebang has emerged, as fresh allegations suggest that his wife, Maria Ebang, has also been involved in an extramarital affair. Sources close to the Ebang family have revealed that the affair came to light shortly after Baltasar’s infidelity was exposed last month, sparking a firestorm of media attention and public scrutiny.
Maria Ebang, who is known for her high-profile social presence and involvement in charitable activities across the country, has reportedly been seeing a local businessman in secret for several months. According to insider sources, the affair was discovered when a series of incriminating text messages and phone records were leaked to the press. While both Baltasar and Maria have yet to comment publicly on the claims, rumors continue to swirl around the personal lives of the couple, whose wealth and influence in the region have long made them subjects of gossip.
The accusations against both Baltasar and Maria have caused a media frenzy in the country, with local tabloids and social media platforms flooded with speculation about the couple’s future. Observers suggest that these revelations could have significant political and social ramifications, as Baltasar has been a key figure in business circles and an influential member of various political networks in Equatorial Guinea.
Family sources have expressed concern over the toll the scandal is taking on the couple’s relationship and reputation. “This is a very private matter, and we hope that the truth comes out soon so that we can put this behind us,” one anonymous family member stated.
As the situation unfolds, many are questioning the impact this will have on their business dealings and social standing. Equatorial Guinea’s elite community remains divided, with some offering support to the Ebangs, while others are quick to point to the hypocrisy of the couple’s public personas.
Both Baltasar and Maria Ebang are expected to address the matter in an upcoming joint statement, but until then, the scandal is expected to dominate headlines in the days ahead.
