Babani Sissoko who reportedly carried ‘a lot of money’ with him and showed it to Jammeh dies

Malian philanthropist and politician Babani Sissoko who is forever known for walking into a Dubai bank in the late 1990s and scamming it of over 200 million dollars has died.

Sissoko was a friend of former President Yahya Jammeh and it is said that he carried with him one million dollars in a briefcase and showed it to Jammeh.

Sissoko died in Bamako on Sunday, a source close to the politician told The Fatu Network.

Edward Singhatey while appearing before the Janneh commission testified that Sissoko came from Dubai with a lot of money and exposed Jammeh to it. Jammeh’s insatiable appetite for money he said he believes emanated from there. Other reports said he showed Jammeh one million dollars cash.
