2026 World Cup: Young Lawyer dies while celebrating Ghana’s victory over Panama
Tragedy has struck the family and friends of 26-year-old private legal practitioner, Sarah Araba Tettey, after she died following a reported cardiac arrest during celebrations of Ghana’s victory over Panama on Wednesday.
Sarah, a former Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Faculty of Law student who was called to the Ghana Bar earlier this year, was working with O & A Legal Consult.
She was said to have been watching the match with friends at Standard Hostel in Bomso, near KNUST, when she suddenly collapsed during the celebrations that followed Ghana’s win.
She was quickly rushed to the KNUST Hospital, where medical staff reportedly performed CPR for about 45 minutes. Despite efforts to save her life, she was pronounced dead shortly after.
Her death has shocked the legal community, especially colleagues from KNUST and the Ghana School of Law, where she was well known and highly regarded.
