Ahmed Adeeb News
Former Maldives Vice President Ahmed Adeeb Abdul Ghafoor was deported in the early hours of Saturday to the Maldives by India, two days after he was detained in the Indian waters for attempting to enter the country through an undesignated point.
The Maldives Police Force on Thursday said that they were working with their international partners to bring Ahmed Adeeb Abdul Ghafoor back to the Maldives, after the former Vice President was detained in Indian waters for attempting to enter the country through an undesignated point.
Maldives' president appointed a new vice president on Wednesday, weeks after his former deputy was convicted of attempting to assassinate him.
Former Maldives deputy leader Ahmed Adeeb has been jailed for 15 years for plotting to assassinate the president, the latest in a string of prosecutions of senior politicians and opposition figures in the troubled island nation.
Adeeb still faces charges of trying to assassinate Gayoom when an explosion hit his presidential speedboat last year.
Maldives President Abdulla Yameen on Sunday branded his deputy a threat to national security after his arrest over an alleged attempt to assassinate Yameen in a speedboat bombing last month.
