Acting Commissioner of Police Ahmed Saudhee has been sacked, making him the second police chief to be fired in 48 hours.
A police spokesman told media Saturday that President Abdulla Yameen has appointed Deputy Commissioner Abdulla Nawaz to replace him.
No reason has been given for the dismissal and a brief notice on the president’s website gave nothing away.
“By the power bestowed upon the President under Article 54 (b) of the Police Act (Act No: 5/2008), President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has today dismissed Ahmed Saudhee from the post of Deputy Commissioner of Police,” said the notice.
