Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Alhaji Abdul Mumin Haroun, has died at the age of 74.
According to family sources, he died at the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital (KATH) in Kumasi on Tuesday night, after a short illness.
As one the longest serving Imams of the region, he rose to the role in 2011, after serving as deputy to the late Sheikh Imran Musah.
Known for his unifying role in many conflicts in the Ashanti Region, Sheikh Haroun has been credited for promoting peace and development in Muslim communities and the region at large.
He spearheaded the refurbishment of the Kumasi Central Mosque and other transformational activities in the Ashanti region.
He will be buried at the Tafo Cemetery after "Janaza" prayers at the Kumasi Central Mosque on Wednesday.
Alhaji Abdul Mumin Haroun is survived by two wives and six children.
