Reports circulating on social media claiming that former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has passed away are entirely false. These rumors gained traction following a misunderstanding of a genuine family loss. While the former President is alive and well, it has been confirmed that his brother, Abdul Mamnoon, passed away earlier this evening.
The confusion appears to have stemmed from the shared family name and the sudden nature of the news. Public figures and family sources have urged the public to stop spreading misinformation regarding the former President’s health and to respect the family’s privacy during this time of mourning for Abdul Mamnoon.
Summary of Facts:
- Maumoon Abdul Gayoom: Alive (Rumors of his death are fake).
- Abdul Mamnoon: Deceased (The former President’s brother).
Would you like me to draft a formal condolence message or a social media post to help clarify this news for your followers?
