Kwesi Nyantakyiââ¬â¢s half-sister â⬓Ama [Salima] - has confirmed the Ghana FA bossââ¬â¢ religious status as a Muslim with an Islamic name ââ¬ËOsmanââ¬â¢.
The GFA boss surprised many when he swore by the Holy Quran when he made his debut appearance before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry.
The situation degenerated into a heated exchange with one of the Commissioners â⬓ Moses Foh- Amoaning wanting to know the religious faith of Kwesi Nyantakyi who until now has been widely considered to be a Christian.
But Nyantakiââ¬â¢s half-sister on the matrilineal side â⬓ Ama [Salima] â⬓ confirmed the GFA boss has been a practicing Muslim since his childhood and also revealed his brotherââ¬â¢s Islamic name as ââ¬ËOsmanââ¬â¢.
ââ¬ÅKwesi Nyantakyi is my brother [of the same mother] and we are all Muslims,â⬠she told Happy FM in a telephone interview from her base in Wa.
ââ¬ÅBut he [Nyantakyi] has been using the name ââ¬ËKwesiââ¬â¢ for a long time and that is why he is widely known as such.
ââ¬ÅBut his Islamic name is ââ¬ËOsmanââ¬â¢.ââ¬
Nyantakyi had through his lawyer Thaddeus Sory confirmed to the commission that he is a Muslim by virtue of having taken his oath with the Holy Quaran.
