Muizzu Decries Adhadhu Investigation as Personal Vendetta

President-elect Dr. Mohamed Muizzu indirectly denounced an investigation by local newspaper Adhadhu as a personal vendetta. The investigation alleged irregularities in the deportation of Muizzu's stepmother, Gnei Skeelan, a Sri Lankan, after the death of his father. It claimed Skeelan was blacklisted for human trafficking and deported without proper legal process. Former Attorney General Dhiyana Saeed said the deportation violated the ICCPR. Immigration Controller General Mohamed Ahmed Hussain questioned the expedited order. Muizzu, then Housing Minister, was accused of abusing his position to secure inheritance. Muizzu denied infringing on anyone's rights and called for an impartial investigation. No official body has responded.
