Ex-VP summoned over Nazim's firearm possession

Maldives Police Service, last week, summoned former vice president Ahmed Adeeb for questioning over the firearm that was found in the residence of former Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim, which had landed the latter in jail over illegal weapon’s possession.

Nazim, who serves as the current parliamentary representative for the Dhangethi constituency in Alif Dhaalu Atoll, was convicted after a pistol and three bullets were found in his residence in January 2015. However, the Supreme Court overturned the jail sentence imposed on the former Minister of Defence, on December 2018.
