Former President Solih to be questioned in Shameem attack investigation

Minister of Homeland Security and Technology Ali Ihusaan has said that former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih will be questioned in the investigations surrounding this morning's attack on Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem.

Minister Ihusaan made this statement following a post by the former President where he indicated that the attack on Shameem was politically motivated.

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih said that there is no room in a democratic community for politically motivated attacks. He called on the perpetrators to be swiftly caught and brought to justice.

His party, Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), alleged that President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, since assuming office, has failed to ensure safety and protection to citizens as well as those fulfilling constitutional responsibilities.

"It is due to the impunity granted to perpetrators in this government that they are attacking senior State Officials without fear of repercussions. This is due to the close relations that senior government officials have with criminal elements in the society," the party said.

Reports now suggest that Shameem was attacked with an axe outside his residence near Noor Mosque.

PG Office has stated that he is currently receiving treatment for his injuries, including fractured bones, at ADK Hospital and is in a stable condition.

Former Commissioner of Police Mohamed Hameed has expressed confidence in the Police Services, saying he believes the services have the capability to investigate this attack on Shameem.
