「ネズミが3兆ポンドを食い荒らした」との噂、南スーダン中央銀行が全面否定

In June 2026, a claim spread on social media alleging that Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) Governor Johnny Ohisa Damian had stated that rats had destroyed 3 trillion South Sudanese pounds stored in the bank's facilities.

In a statement dated June 23, 2026, BoSS categorically rejected the claim as "false and misleading," saying neither the Governor nor any authorized representative had ever made such a remark.

The bank called the story a fabrication designed to mislead the public and undermine confidence in the financial system, and urged media outlets and social media users to disregard the allegation and verify information through official channels.
