Ghana midfielder Silly Muntari's father, Alhaji Muniru Sulley, who was a Ghanaian of Nigerian descent, has been laid to rest at his hometown Old Tafo in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

Alhaji Muniru, who passed on in May this a year after battling illness,  lived in Konongo, located in the Asante Akyem district of the Ashanti Region.

He is said to have been very influential in the football career of the former Inter Milan and AC Milan star, publicly apologizing on his behalf whenever he erred against the state or the officials of the Ghana Football Association.

Alhaji Muniru also leaves behind another 24 year old son, Sulley Muniru, who is a footballer who was recently on the books of Romanian giants Steaua Bucuresti.
