Former Black Queens goalkeeper Memunatu Suleman has unveiled a shocking revelation about her past, disclosing that her grandmother and the Head Coach at the time collaborated to terminate her twin pregnancy in 1999, all in a bid to secure her position in the Black Queens squad.
During an interview with Gideon Okyere Anim on Accra-based Original FM 91.9, the former goalkeeper shared her extraordinary experience when asked about her maternal status.
Detailing her account, the now homeless former national athlete explained that she became pregnant just as she was gearing up for a significant tournament. Under the influence of her grandmother and the Head Coach, she was persuaded to terminate her pregnancy, sacrificing her twin babies to ensure her place within Ghana’s team.
Overcome with emotion, she expressed, “My grandmother and my Head Coach then took me to a man who removed the twin babies, and I was naive.”
Before her recent unfortunate circumstances, Memunatu Suleman had been serving as the goalkeeper’s trainer for the Black Maidens of Ghana.
Memunatu Suleman is undoubtedly one of Ghana’s finest female goalkeepers. She primarily plied her trade with Fabulous Ladies and had a remarkable tenure with the Black Queens.
Her illustrious career includes appearances in several FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments, including 1999, 2003, and 2007, as well as participation in the African Women’s Championship in 2003, 2005, and 2007.
