Islanders of Maalhos in Alif Alif Atoll have alleged that the island’s councillors took Rf100,000 (US$6,485) from the office safe last week.
“It could not have happened without the knowledge of the councilors, almost all the islanders believe that one cannot just go past security and reach the safe so easily and steal it,” an islander told Minivan News today on the condition of anonymity.
“The culprits have sawed the steel rods placed behind the window and entered council office.”
He alleged that it was “obvious” that the councilors were behind the robbery.
