The final Islamic funeral rites for former Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Dr Ibrahim Mohammed Murtala, were held today in Tamale, drawing hundreds of mourners from across the country.
From early morning, the family home in Changli and the surrounding streets were filled with relatives, political allies, friends and residents, all gathered to honour the late MP for Tamale Central.
Qur'anic recitations and solemn prayers, led by Islamic clerics, set the tone for a day steeped in both grief and deep respect for his legacy.
Political leaders, traditional rulers and citizens stood side by side, setting aside differences to remember a man many described as a unifier and a dedicated public servant.
