Former President Abdullah Yameen has alleged that the 2015 assassination attempt involving the Finifenma launch boat was a staged event orchestrated by Abdul Raheem. This accusation follows recent comments by Abdul Raheem, who has questioned the authenticity of the incident.

On Tuesday night, Raheem suggested that the bombing might have been a dramatized scheme orchestrated by Yameen. His remarks have provoked a strong response from Yameen and his party, the People’s National Party (PNF), who have sharply criticized Raheem’s claims.

In a party meeting, President Yameen addressed Raheem's comments, asserting, “If the Finifenma launch boat blast is questioned as a drama, I think the script was written by Abdul Raheem himself.”

Yameen denounced Raheem’s skepticism as baseless and suggested that it was part of a fabricated narrative.
