A long-serving employee at Laamu Kadhdhoo airport was fired after a political row with the son of a ruling party lawmaker, local media reported.
VFP reported that Ahmed Nasir, who worked as an engineer at the airport for 26 years, was fired on August 10 after being informed of changes to the company structure.
He said he believed his dismissal was because of an argument with influential government figures.
“Fonadhoo MP’s son shouted profanities at me. He asked what was wrong with me. He even came to hit me and later I received threats,” Nasir was quoted as saying.
