Hajia Saudatu Sulemana Muntaka, mother of Interior Minister and Member of Parliament for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has passed away at the age of 83.

She died on Monday afternoon (February 3, 2025) at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital following a short illness.

Her passing occurred on the same day her son officially assumed his new role at the Interior Ministry after being sworn in by President John Dramani Mahama last week.

The Asawase MP has often credited his mother for shaping his life and career, acknowledging her unwavering support and guidance.
