By Achimi Muktar

A UK-based pastor has issued a stark warning about the ongoing Baltasar Engonga scandal shaking Equatorial Guinea, urging people to avoid watching the leaked tapes that have been circulating online.

Dele Olawanle, a pastor and business coach, took to Facebook on Thursday, November 7, to react to the scandal, which has ignited a firestorm on social media. His message was clear: steer clear of the disturbing content to protect yourself from falling back into harmful habits.

"A Warning to All"

“Do not let the guy in Equatorial Guinea return you to your days of pornography. Run!” Olawanle wrote, echoing the sentiments of many who have expressed disgust and shock at the scandal. The pastor’s message quickly gained traction, with his followers praising him for addressing the issue head-on.

The scandal, which involves explicit recordings allegedly showing Baltasar Engonga in compromising situations with the wives of close family members and friends, has been the talk of social media platforms in recent days. Many are grappling with the shock and moral outrage over the tapes, which have been widely shared despite their controversial nature.

"Social Media Reactions Explode"

Olawanle’s warning has resonated with many, who flooded his post with comments supporting his call for caution. “What a thing. I am in shock from that story,” one user, Marcia Dixon, commented. “The man recorded his activity with people's wives—even the wives of close family and friends. Bad behavior of the highest order.”

Others, like Kenneth Inyang-udo, added, "Most Christians and pastors should take this as a reminder to stay vigilant." Another commenter, Lydia Yusuf, questioned why anyone would still be searching for the videos, asking, "I wonder why some people are still requesting the video."

Several users highlighted the moral and spiritual dangers of engaging with the scandalous content. “Honestly, sir, it is a trick from the pit of hell to ruin innocent people for what they have forbidden,” wrote Ibuchim Jeremiah Eze.

"A Scandal That Shook the Internet"

The Baltasar Engonga tapes have caused a wave of public outrage not just in Equatorial Guinea but across various global communities. The explicit nature of the videos, coupled with the betrayal involved, has fueled widespread condemnation of Engonga’s actions.

Olawanle’s message aims to remind people of the consequences of indulging in such content, particularly for those who may be struggling with past addictions or moral dilemmas. His timely warning, urging people to "run" from temptation, has been praised as a necessary voice of reason amid the chaos of the scandal.

"Protecting Families and Faith"

As the scandal continues to spread, many, like Pastor Dele, are advocating for healing and support for those affected, particularly Engonga’s wife and children. “I hope his wife gets the support she needs as she comes to terms with what’s happened, and that their children recover from this too,” one commenter added.

With tensions high and social media abuzz, Olawanle’s message serves as a reminder to not only guard against immoral content but also to focus on rebuilding trust, faith, and integrity within communities affected by the fallout.

As more details emerge, one thing is certain—this scandal has left an indelible mark, and Pastor Dele's warning rings louder than ever: "Run!"
