The Maldives National Defence Force has said that increased security around the residence of former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is in compliance with procedure, reports Avas.
Security measures were stepped up around the Gayoom residence, with the military recording the names of everyone coming in and out of the house, on Tuesday after the MNDF allegedly received a report of a death threat.

The MNDF comments came after the former president wrote to the security services “asking for clarification” regarding the threat.
