<\/a><\/p>\nMutnari chats of Sheikh Nuhu Shasrubutu at the Eid prayers on Tuesday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari celebrated the Islamic Eid festival in grand style on Wednesday when he joined the leader of Muslims in Ghana during prayers at Independence Square.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu offered prayers for the Black Stars ahead of today\u2019s match against Swaziland after Muntari made an appeal to the highly respected Imam.<\/p>\n
Muntari was given the permission to join his fellow Muslims for the one-hour ceremony.<\/p>\n
Muntari\u2019s popularity among Muslims in Ghana was clear when he was asked to join the Imam where the dignitaries and the country\u2019s president John Atta Mills were seated.<\/p>\n
It took 20 minutes for heavily armed security officials to get him through the crowd who were ecstatic on seeing the player, known for fasting while playing matches.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is always nice to celebrate the Eid in Ghana as I have not done so in this country for many years,\u201d Muntari said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith my friends and family around I have thoroughly enjoyed it and enjoyed the support from all the fans who made prayers not only for me but also for the Black Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
The festival was meant to celebrate the end of 30 days of fasting.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Andre and Jordan Ayew also prayed at the Nima Park to mark the end of Ramadan.<\/p>\n
The sons of legend Abedi Pele were also mobbed in Nima where they enjoyed massive support.<\/p>\n
