In the statement "United States] to" remove that "]" i think its a mistake. The statement is in the "reaction" section under Arrest and imprisonment on post presidency section. Its in the section's 2nd paragraph 209.212.220.229 (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In an interview, Gayoom said he did not study at the Ahmadu Bello University, so "Ahmadu Bello University" should be removed from the infobox's alma mater part. Also the sentence "After marrying Nasreena Ibrahim in 1969, Gayoom joined Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria, where he served as a lecturer in Islamic Studies.[7]" needs to be moved from education section to his career section because that sentence does not tell any about his education, it's about his career when he started to teach at the university. 27.114.165.157 (talk) 14:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
