Minister at the President's Office Adam Rameez has been dismissed from his post.

Rameez has been suspended from his post since last June due to an investigation by the government. The government did not reveal why he was suspended in the first place.

However, Rameez's ex-wife Fathimath Shamneez was arrested earlier this year in connection to allegations that she had tried to perform black magic against President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu and his wife.

Shamneez was also suspended from her post at the Environment Ministry and was later released from custody with authorities decided not to pursue legal charges against her.

The President's Office has now removed Rameez from its website. Presidential Spokesperson Heena Waleed also confirmed his dismissal to the Press.
