Breaking!!! Corruption: Court Orders Immediate Arrest Of Former President

A court in Maldives, on Monday, ordered the immediate arrest and detention of former President Abdulla Yameen, on suspicion of money laundering, Igbere TV has learnt.

Igbere TV gathered that Mr. Yameen, who drew Maldives closer to China during his rule, is accused of receiving $1 million of government money through a private company, SOF Private Limited, which has been implicated in a corrupt deal to lease tropical islands for hotel development.

Mr. Yameen has, however, denied the allegations.
