Opposition supporters Monday night protested the removal of boxes from a presidential property in the capital.
Raajje TV reported that two trucks had removed several boxes from Mulee-aage, which is being used by the first lady as her office. It follows President Abdulla Yameen conceding defeat in the election.
Videos seen by the Maldives Independent showed two trucks, with tarpaulin covering the boxes in the back, leave the building.
People gathered outside the state vehicles maintenance unit in Malé after the trucks were seen entering the compound. A small crowd of opposition supporters demanded the media be let in to see what was being removed from Mulee-aage.
