\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cHe was a father to all, leaving behind three wives and many children, both biological and those he embraced as his own,\u201d the spokesperson noted.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHe further stated that the Almighty Allah has called the respected cleric to eternal rest, urging the faithful to find solace in Allah\u2019s will.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe family announced that the final funeral rites (Adua) will take place on Sunday, July 12, 2025, at Wawasi in the Obuasi East Municipality, in line with Islamic customs.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
