A 26-year-old private legal practitioner has tragically died after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest while celebrating Ghana’s victory over Panama in their opening FIFA World Cup match on Wednesday, June 17.
The deceased, Sara Araba Tettey, a newly qualified lawyer and alumna of the Faculty of Law at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), collapsed shortly after jubilant celebrations broke out following the final whistle at Standard Hostel in Bomso, near the university campus in Kumasi.
She was rushed to the KNUST Hospital, where medical staff reportedly performed CPR for about 45 minutes in an attempt to revive her. She was later pronounced dead.
Ms. Tettey, who was called to the Ghana Bar earlier this year, worked with O & A Legal Consult and was widely regarded by colleagues as a promising young legal professional.
Her sudden passing has shocked the legal community and her former schoolmates, with many paying tribute on social media.
Her body has been deposited at the hospital mortuary pending autopsy and funeral arrangements.
