Senator Shehu Sani, a Nigerian activist and former federal lawmaker, has predicted what South Africans would have done if Baltasar Engonga, the embattled former director general of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, had Nigerian parents.
Engonga recently became embroiled in controversy after over 400 explicit videos allegedly showing him with various women, including relatives of prominent officials, were discovered.
His case has stirred public outrage and government response, with Vice President Teodoro Nguema condemning such behaviour in government offices and announcing new workplace surveillance measures to maintain decorum.
Commenting on the issue, Senator Sani said South African blogs and social media handles would have dragged Nigerians if Engonga had any biological connection with Nigeria.
“If ‘to say’ the Equatorial Guinea guy has a Nigerian father or Mother, only God would have saved us from the South African blogs and social media handles. Nigerian men can even be attacked,” Senator Sani posted on X.

“You can never be too sure o! In PH of the 80s, there used to the concept of “Panya man”. Which refers to a man who had travelled to Equatorial Guinea in the 40s and was unable to return because of entanglement with poverty, women and alcohol. Many of my Riverine Ijaw uncles became Panya men.”
