A 26-year-old private legal practitioner, Sara Araba Tettey, has died after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest while celebrating Ghana’s victory over Panama on Wednesday.
Ms. Tettey, an alumna of the Faculty of Law at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), was called to the Ghana Bar in October 2024 and was employed with O & A Legal Consult at the time of her death.
According to information gathered by Daily View GH, the young lawyer was watching the match with friends at Standard Hostel in Bomso, near the KNUST campus, when the incident occurred.
Eyewitnesses told Daily View GH that Ms. Tettey suddenly collapsed amid the excitement and jubilation that followed Ghana’s victory.
She was immediately rushed to the KNUST Hospital, popularly known as Tech Hospital, where medical personnel reportedly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for about 45 minutes in an effort to save her life. Despite the efforts of the medical team, she was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
The tragic news has sent shockwaves through the legal fraternity, particularly among members of the KNUST law community and her colleagues from the Ghana School of Law.
Affectionately known as Araba Tettey, she was widely admired by friends, classmates, and colleagues for her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to the legal profession. Many have described her passing as a significant loss to the legal community, noting that her promising career was only beginning to flourish.
Her body has been deposited at the KNUST Medical School Mortuary pending further arrangements and investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death.
