A former employee of the President's Office has alleged that a government minister issued a warning via phone call a month before the release of the documentary "Aisha" by Adhadhu.
In a social media post, the former staffer claimed the threat was made by a minister who currently serves in the administration's cabinet.
"One month before the release of the 'Aisha' documentary, a current cabinet minister called and warned me not to leak any information. He said he believed what I was saying, but warned that things would end very badly for me if I proceeded [to leak information]," the former President's Office employee stated in the post.
While the individual did not name the minister, the post noted that the phone call lasted approximately 10 minutes and asserted that the minister in question would know exactly who was being referenced.
The young former staffer has previously alleged that First Lady Sajidha Mohamed has been using her influence to harass both the individual and their family in various ways.
According to these claims, every member of the individual's family has been blacklisted from employment opportunities, allegedly under the direct influence of the First Lady.
The allegations of ministerial intimidation regarding the "Aisha" documentary come as the police have withheld the former employee's passport under a court order, citing an ongoing criminal investigation.
Adhadhu understands that the individual's passport and travel documents have been seized by the police for the period spanning August 27 to November 26.
