Hajia Saudatu Sulemana Muntaka, mother of Interior Minister and MP for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has passed away at the age of 83.
Hajia Saudatu Sulemana Muntaka died on Monday evening, February 3, 2025, at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after a short illness.
Her death coincided with the day her son officially assumed his duties at the Interior Ministry following his swearing-in by President John Dramani Mahama last week.
The Asawase MP has often credited his mother for his success, praising her upbringing and support.
Tributes have been pouring in from constituents, with many offering condolences and prayers for the late Hajia Saudatu.
In a Facebook post announcing the death of his mother, the Asawase Legislator prayed for God’s mercy upon her life.
He wrote:
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce to the general public the passing of my beloved mother, Hajia Saudatu Sulemana Muntaka. She died after a short illness. May Allah forgive her shortcomings and grant her Jannatul Firdaus”.
The Interior Minister has arrived at the family home in Kumasi to oversee preparations for the burial, scheduled for Tuesday.
