The Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) has officially rejected reports circulating on social media and various online platforms alleging that Governor Johnny Ohisa claimed rats had destroyed 3 trillion South Sudanese Pounds stored in the bank's facilities.

In a statement issued by the central bank, officials described the reports as false, misleading, and intended to spread misinformation among the public. The bank clarified that no such statement was made by Governor Johnny Ohisa and urged citizens to rely on verified information from official sources.

The rumors had quickly gained attention online, sparking discussions and concerns about the country's financial management and the security of currency reserves. However, the Bank of South Sudan emphasized that its cash storage and management systems operate under strict procedures designed to safeguard public assets.

Authorities have also encouraged media outlets, bloggers, and social media users to verify information before sharing it, warning that the spread of false information can undermine public confidence in national institutions.

The Bank reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and maintaining stability within South Sudan's financial sector. It further urged members of the public to follow official communication channels for accurate updates regarding the country's monetary and banking affairs.

As misinformation continues to spread rapidly through digital platforms, experts stress the importance of fact-checking and responsible reporting to ensure the public receives accurate and reliable information.
