The deputy ambassador to Malaysia and wife of suspended Supreme Court Justice Abdulla Didi has been sacked.
Ghaniya Abdul Ghafoor was appointed by former president Abdulla Yameen.
In response to her dismissal, Ghaniya said: “I was informed last night by the foreign ministry that I have been discharged. I was a political appointee, so obviously the decision was made by the president’s office.”
The foreign office on Wednesday confirmed Ghaniya had been dismissed but an official announcement has yet to be made.
