Dr. Amina Ngebe (played by Jo Nelle Kennedy) was a colleague of Dr. Solomon Merkmallen at the university of the Ivory Coast in Africa. She met Agent Scully while investigating an alien spacecraft that was discovered by Merkmallen shortly before he was murdered by Dr. Barnes. Barnes effectively usurped control of the dig site and kept Ngebe and Scully in line by threatening them with a machete. Scully eventually knocked out Barnes, allowing them to escape. Ngebe believed that numerous bizarre occurrences surrounding the spacecraft were actually warnings against their continued investigation of it.(TXF: "The Sixth Extinction")
