Police have begun a search of the "Adhadhu" online news office under a court order, following the release of a documentary titled "Aisha" on the outlet's social media platforms.
Police entered the news outlet's office after President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu requested relevant authorities to take legal action against those involved, labeling the claims made in the documentary as false.
The documentary, released by Adhadhu news on the 28th of last month, is based on an interview with an anonymous individual. In the video, a former employee of the President’s Office alleges a personal relationship with President Muizzu and levels several serious accusations against him.
During a press conference held Monday morning regarding the matter, President Muizzu denied all allegations presented in the documentary. The President further stated that he would seek the strictest possible legal action against all parties involved in its production.
Staff at Adhadhu have stated that the court order obtained by the police to search the news outlet's office does not explicitly specify the items being sought. However, it is believed that the police are operating on-site to recover evidence related to the documentary. Footage released by Adhadhu shows police officers taking photographs of the premises and inspecting the office's computer systems.
Police have confirmed that they are currently conducting a search of the Adhadhu news office under a court order in connection with an ongoing investigation. However, the police have not disclosed any further details regarding the nature of the case.
