In a order issued on Monday the President of the South Sudan Basketball Federation Luol Ajou Deng said the officials submitted a fraudulent document to FIBA requesting full representation of South Sudan at the 2nd FIBA Africa Mid-Term General Assembly on March 31st 2022 without knowledge or an approval from the President of SSBF saying the team almost dis-qualified on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Secretary General and Finance Secretary took a decision without the knowledge of the President to approach and hire staff and national team coaches in an effort to influence the trajectory of the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two executive board secretaries have made the decision to directly communicate with the then potential lead players of the South Sudan Women\u2019s National Team to falsely share that the president does not intend to support the women\u2019s team,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Investigation Committee will launch an investigation for a period of fifteen (15) working days beginning immediately and will submit their findings to the Chairman of the committee by Monday, 25th of July 2022,\u201d he stated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajou however mentioned that between October and November 2020, after some team members and delegation contracted COVID-19 virus on a trip to Cameroon, the president asked the SG to lead those who tested negative after the competition to travel and isolate in Kenya, ignoring the directive from the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
