Foutanga Babani Sissoko, known as Baba Sora (died March 2021)[1] was a Malian entrepreneur and politician.
[6] With the money obtained from the bank, Sissoko could fulfill "his dream of opening an airline for West Africa".
At this time Ayoub confessed taking money from the Dubai bank; he was arrested and sentenced to three years for fraud in jail.
In the late 1990s, Sissoko made plans to construct a large hotel in Bamako, on the north bank of the Niger River.
The structure was never finished, however, owing to Sissoko's financial and legal woes; the site was purchased by Libyan investors in 2007 and renamed the Afriqiyah Hotel.
