Police officers the Maldives have arrested a coconut. It had Arabic writing it. It was a "sura" (a verse the Koran) and local people got worried it. They said it was full black magic and that someone was using it to try and change the results an election. Police took the coconut to a local police station because it was a "suspicious fruit". They thought the small fruit might affect how people voted Saturday's national election. People on the island Guraidhoo believe black magic can stop voters voting, or make them vote someone else. The police contacted a "ruqyah" (a good magician), who decided the coconut was a fake and contained no black magic.

A police official said: "It seems like it was a joke. Just a prank, so that people will become aware, understand the message, and not do it again." The Huffington Post website claims that black magic can have a big effect life the Maldives. July, a school refused to let a voting box the building. Teachers were worried it would make students ill. 2012, Abdulla bin Mohamed Ibrahim, a religious leader the Maldives, asked the government to make black magic illegal. He said it was a sin to practice black magic. He said it caused a lot problems many families and that it was time to do something it. Mr Ibrahim said black magic has become a major social issue his country.
