How South Sudan government was scammed €12 billion

In South Sudan, a fake Sheikh masterminded a €12 billion deal with Salva Kiir’s government, which is regarded as on of the largest oil deals recorded in Africa, but how did it happen? its one of biggest scams in African history

The mastermind behind this elaborate scam is known as a con artist and fraudster who has been operating in the shadows of the financial world for years. He has a history of manipulating governments and individuals into lucrative deals that ultimately benefit only himself.

His smooth-talking demeanor and convincing facade have managed to deceive even high-ranking officials like Salva Kiir, the President of South Sudan, into signing off on a deal that would ultimately cost the country billions in revenue. It is unclear how he managed to gain the trust of Kiir and his government, but it is evident that his connections and manipulation tactics played a significant role in sealing the deal.

The fake Sheikh is a master of deception, using his false claims of royal lineage and connections to powerful individuals to gain credibility and access to high-stakes negotiations. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, preying on the vulnerabilities and naivety of those around him to further his own selfish agenda.

Africa Intelligence uncovered that the €12 billion deal with South Sudan is just one example of his nefarious activities, with reports of similar scams and fraudulent schemes stretching across multiple countries and continents. It is a sobering reminder of the lengths that some individuals will go to in order to exploit others for personal gain.

As investigations into the deal continue, it is crucial that authorities take swift action to hold the fake Sheikh and his accomplices accountable for their actions. The people of South Sudan deserve justice and restitution for the betrayal of their trust and the loss of billions in potential revenue.

Born Adil Al Otaiba, the businessman was granted permission to change his name, which he now uses in his business dealings. His frequent use of the honorific “sheikh” has raised eyebrows, with many viewing it as undeserved.

The name of his company, derived from the initials of his new moniker, Hamad Bin Khalifa Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, followed by “DOP” for “Department of Projects”, reflects his adopted identity.

He resides in Abu Dhabi with his wife and four children, leading a low-key lifestyle and avoiding social events in Dubai. His involvement in a recent deal with South Sudan, overseen by influential adviser Benjamin Bol Mel, has raised questions about his company’s legitimacy.

Juba’s lack of due diligence regarding HBK DOP, a company shrouded in mystery and questionable credentials of its members, including Anwar Majid Hussein and Yoro Mohamed Diallo, has drawn scrutiny.

Despite inquiries by Africa Intelligence, the company and its associates have remained tight-lipped, adding to the air of suspicion surrounding their operations.
