The Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) campaign hall in Hithadhoo in Addu City has been seriously damaged following a fire early this morning.
“So far, we believe that this was an arson attack. We have found evidence to support this theory. The campaign hall caught fire so easily because there were kerosene and other flammable material inside,” Inspector of Police Ahmed Shifan told local media.
Nobody was reported to have been hurt in the incident, although a large amount of electronic equipment was said to have been damaged beyond repair.
Police – who dealt with the fire – are now investigating the incident but are not reported to have yet made any arrests.
