Acting Managing Director (MD) at state-run utilities company Fenaka Corporation, Mohamed Lam'aan has publicly threatened former President Mohamed Nasheed’s life.
Fenaka’s MD had threatened Nasheed through a response to a tweet the former President had posted earlier on Tuesday.
In his tweet Nasheed wrote that "President Yameen had picked Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed, who is an alleged recruiter of the Islamic States, as his running mate, going on to write that the Saudi Ambassador to the Maldives, Mr. Bader Ali Al-Kohail endorses him and that this tells the people everything they need to know about Saudi support for violent extremism in the Maldives".
President Yameen picks Shaheem - an alleged recruiter for Islamic State - as his running mate. Saudi amb. @BaderAlkahail endorses him. Tells you everything you need to know about Saudi support for violent extremism in the Maldives.
Lam'aan responding to Nasheed’s tweet from his official twitter account, openly called on the"authorities and Muslim ummah to execute" the opposition leader.
While this is not the first time a death threat has been aimed at the opposition leader by a top official of the government, several pro-government officials have on previous occasions publicly oppressed and threatened the former President.
