The arrival of a Canadian man in the Maldives claiming to be a messenger of Allah was “a false alarm”, said Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam.
”According to information we have received we have been unable to confirm that it is true,” Shiyam said.
Press Secretary for the President Mohamed Zuhair said the President’s Office was also informed of the man’s arrival.
”The Islamic Ministry requested police investigate the matter,” he said earlier today.
