President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has issued a threat to renowned Maldivian journalist and Chief Editor of ‘Adhadhu’ news, Hussain Fiyaz Moosa.

RaajjeMV understands that the president is to have called Fiyaz late Friday and threatened him over the phone. This information was obtained by the station through a credible source.

RaajjeMV understands that Muizzu is to have told Fiyaz that he would take “all” possible measures against him.

While the president has threatened Fiyaz in this manner, during a gathering held by the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) on Friday night as part of the party’s ongoing serial protests against the government, Mahfooz Saeed, a lawyer who is also a director of ‘Adhadhu’, said that it is a big deal for the current president to personally call and threaten individuals.

The reason behind the president’s anger and threat towards the journalist, remains unclear.
