The Office of Kobi Walker, has strongly refuted and condemned the false allegations made by famous politician Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray in an audio recording and social media post published on February 2, 2025.

In a decisive response, the owner Kobi Walker dismissed the claims as blatant fabrications designed to mislead the public and tarnish reputations.

Following extensive legal consultations, Kobi Walker has instructed his solicitors to initiate immediate legal proceedings against Mansaray to ensure accountability for what he described as malicious and baseless accusations.

He categorically denied any association with Jos Leijdekkers, also known as ‘Bello Jos,’ or Yankai Resort, contrary to the allegations in Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray’s statements.

Additionally, both Leonoil and Sierra Rutile Limited have issued statements debunking the claims and reinforcing their commitment to transparency.

Legal action against Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray is set to proceed both in Sierra Leone and in any jurisdiction where he may be residing.

Kobi Walker has vowed to pursue the matter until Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray issues a full and unequivocal public retraction and faces financial consequences for the alleged defamation.

Leonoil Company Limited has released an official statement unequivocally rejecting Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray’s allegations. The company labeled the claims as false, baseless and misleading, emphasizing that they serve no purpose other than to damage its reputation and misinform the public.

“As a company with a longstanding commitment to integrity, transparency and ethical business practices, we take these malicious attacks very seriously,” Leonoil stated.

“The dissemination of falsehoods aimed at damaging our credibility will not be tolerated.”

Leonoil has vowed to take all necessary legal measures, including civil and criminal proceedings, against any individuals or entities involved in spreading misinformation.

The company reassured stakeholders that operations remain unaffected and reaffirmed its dedication to delivering excellence.

Leonoil further urged the public to rely on verified sources for accurate information and stated its unwavering commitment to ethical business conduct.

Sierra Rutile Limited (SRL) also issued a statement on February 2, 2025, refuting the defamatory allegations made on social media regarding its parent company, Sierra Rutile Holdings Limited (SRX) and its acquisition by Leonoil Company Limited.

According to SRL, Leonoil, a 100% Sierra Leonean-owned petroleum trading company has no direct or indirect connection with Jos Leijdekkers. The statement clarified that neither SRX nor SRL has ever engaged with Leijdekkers in any capacity.

“The acquisition of SRX by Leonoil in September 2024 was conducted in full compliance with Australian securities and anti-money laundering laws,” SRL’s statement read.

“The transaction was scrutinized by Australian regulatory authorities, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). All financial processes were validated as lawful and compliant with anti-money laundering regulations.”

SRL strongly condemned the allegations as false, defamatory and without merit. The company confirmed that it would take legal action against individuals or entities responsible for spreading these falsehoods.

The public was urged to disregard the misleading claims and rely on official SRL communications for accurate information.

The allegations surfaced when Mohamed K. Mansaray, in an audio message and a Facebook post dated February 2, 2025, accused Sierra Rutile Limited, Leonoil and Kobi Walker, the Chairman of the newly acquired Sierra Rutile Limited, of involvement in illicit financial dealings.

Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray claimed that Jos Leijdekkers, a figure reportedly linked to drug trafficking, had invested substantial sums in the acquisition of Sierra Rutile Limited through Leonoil in September 2024. Furthermore, he alleged that Leijdekkers was residing at a newly built resort in Big Water, along the Freetown Peninsula, supposedly owned by Andrew Kobina Walker. Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray’s post suggested that Sierra Leone was being used as a hub for drug-related money laundering.

The allegations have been widely dismissed by the implicated parties, who have taken swift legal action to combat the spread of misinformation. With both Leonoil and Sierra Rutile Limited affirming their commitment to transparency and legal compliance, the matter is now set to unfold in the courts, where Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray will be required to substantiate his claims or face legal consequences.
