Police have launched investigations after a death threat was issued to President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on social media.
Police spokesman and Assistant Commissioner Ahmed Shifan said in a post on X that an investigation was underway.
A social media account posted death threats to President Muizzu as a comment on the live broadcast of his speech at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York last night.
It is unclear whether the threat was issued from a genuine or a fake account. Police have not commented on the matter.
President Muizzu is currently in New York to attend the 79th Session of the UNGA and a Special Session of the Security Council.
