The former President’s Office employee who alleged in an Adhadhu documentary that she was a victim of sexual predation by President Mohamed Muizzu has decided to provide a full statement to the police, her legal counsel, Hussain Shameem, announced last night.
Speaking to reporters outside the police station in Hulhumale', Shameem said that his client intends to share phone logs and messages related to the allegations and is committed to providing full cooperation and a comprehensive statement to the investigation.
"We are prepared to provide all necessary assistance and cooperation required for the investigation. My client wishes to recount everything—how these events transpired. She wants to provide the police with a detailed statement including phone calls, messages, and all other specifics regarding every matter under investigation," Shameem said.
Information suggests that the former staffer is scheduled to appear at the police station tomorrow to provide her formal statement for the investigation.
Authorities have already seized her passport. The court order to prevent her from leaving the country was based on a confidential intelligence report submitted by the police. Despite the travel restrictions, no search warrant has been executed at her residence.
The investigation into the "Aisha" documentary was ordered by Muizzu himself. Within hours of his directive, police raided the Adhadhu office, seizing laptops and hard drives.
In addition to the raid, the Criminal Court has issued orders to withhold the passports of the outlet’s CEO, Hussain Fiyaz Moosa, and Managing Editor, Hassan Mohamed, at the request of the police. Both Fiyaz and Hassan were summoned to police headquarters last week for questioning in connection with the case.
