A 26-year-old Ghanaian lawyer, Sarah Araba Tettey, has died after reportedly collapsing during celebrations following Ghana’s victory over Panama at the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
According to Citi Newsroom, the incident occurred on Wednesday at Standard Hostel, a private hostel in Bomso, near the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Tettey, an alumna of the university’s Faculty of Law, was said to have been watching the match with friends when she suddenly collapsed amid post-match celebrations.
She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where medical personnel reportedly made efforts to revive her, but she was later pronounced dead.
Reports indicate that she was called to the Ghana Bar earlier this year and was practising with O & A Legal Consult.
Her sudden death has triggered widespread grief on social media, with friends, colleagues, and former classmates mourning the loss of what many described as a bright and promising young legal practitioner.
As of the time of filing this report, her family is yet to issue an official statement on the circumstances surrounding her death.
Her body has been deposited in a mortuary pending further arrangements, while the exact cause of death has not yet been confirmed by medical authorities.
