Friday, June 19, 2026 -A 26-year-old legal practitioner has tragically d!ed after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest while celebrating Ghana's victory over Panama in their opening match of the FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
The deceased, Sara Araba Tettey, a newly qualified lawyer and
alumna of the Faculty of Law at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (KNUST), was said to have collapsed moments after jubilant scenes
erupted following the Black Stars' victory.
Local media reported that Ms Tettey, who was called to the
Ghana Bar earlier this year, was working with O & A Legal Consult and was
widely regarded by colleagues and friends as one of the country's promising
young legal professionals.
According to eyewitness accounts, she was watching the match
with friends at Standard Hostel, a private student hostel at Bomso near the
KNUST campus in Kumasi, when she suddenly became unresponsive amid celebrations
after the final whistle.
Friends and other patrons at the hostel immediately rushed
her to the KNUST Hospital, where medical personnel battled to save her life.
Sources indicated that doctors and emergency responders
administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for approximately 45 minutes
in an effort to revive her.
Despite the intensive medical intervention, she was
pronounced d3ad shortly afterwards.
Friends and former classmates described Ms Tettey,
affectionately known as "Araba Tettey," as intelligent, hardworking,
compassionate and full of promise.
The body has been deposited at the hospital mortuary pending
autopsy and funeral arrangements.
