Maldives Vice-President arrested, indicted for high treason in an alleged plot to assasinate the president

Maldives Vice-President Ahmed Adeev has been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate the President, Abdulla Yameen Gayoom.

According to the Police spokesman Ismail Ali, Ahmed Adeeb was arrested today Saturday Oct. 24th at the airport when he returned from an official visit to China, on suspicion of links to a blast on the presidential boat last month. 

The September 28 explosion took place aboard the boat when President Yameen Abdul Gayoom and his wife were returning to the capital from the airport after a hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
The president was unhurt, but his wife and and a number of others were injured when the device went off under a seat normally - but not in this instance - occupied by Mr Yameen. 
 
Soon after the blast, speculation began to grow that Mr Adeeb was involved, reports say. Under the Maldivian constitution, the vice-president succeeds the president if he dies, is incapacitated or resigns. 


Officials described the attack as an assassination attempt and had arrested two senior police officers - a week after the president fired his defence minister.
 
Home Minister Naseer said Mr Adeeb was being held on a prison island.

    1. Foool..proper investigation should be carried out first. He could be innocent..the main reason he's being suspected is cos he stands to benefit a lot should the president be pronulounced dead

  8. Assuming this happened in Nigeria. We ll hear thus:
    1. Why was the President not on that seat at the time of explosion?
    2. The vice president is being witch hunted
    3. It's because Tinubu wants to be president.
    4. PDP planted the bomb but God pass them.
    5. Northerners are boko haram.
    Fellow countrymen, this is how a nation should function, no one is above suspicion. Nobody above the law. Let us collectively hold that actions have consequences, then we could go back to our partisan politics. Let that one word unite us.

    1. Who asked u for this epistle.u probably see urself as a great orator like hitler who will gather loyal people under u as followers...the first part of this story is just stating the obvious.and u could still be wrong even then as tinubu maybe trying to be president,the presidency may be framing him,someone else maybe framing him to make him look bad to the president. The possibilities are endless.so are u saying sometimes its not just a witch hunt?cause someone making a surprise attempt on a leaders life can be a blessing to him as he can use that as excuse to get rid of all his enemies,guilty and innocent enemies both.......the second part is just u being the boy who wanna be "class captain" of his class.guy u have some kind of complex.the I too know and the sabi complex.mchew......aunty linlin how far now;) successful woman
