When questioned if they were detained in the Maldives, the source refused to answer saying that it is something to be decided by the relevant authorities.

The source also said that Maldivians does not join jihadists simply because they like it or endorse it, but a major problem is the propaganda by the jihadists for new recruits.

He also believed that government is of the view that all Maldivian criminals should be extradited to Maldives and government does not want a single Maldivian detained in a foreign jail.
