2026 UPSA Law School Valedictorian Reported Dead

Miss Rabiatu Wesoamu Jemimah, the 2026 overall best graduating student and valedictorian of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Law School, has reportedly died.

Details of cause of death and when it actually happened remain sketchy but tributes have been pouring in from former classmates at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) and close associates.

One of her former friends, Cisse Muniya Cisse, struggled to find the words to describe her pain, revealing that they had shared a close bond before losing contact over the years.

“I honestly don’t know how to put my feelings into words. You were once more than just a friend to me. We shared a bond, memories, laughter, and a part of life that I will always hold close to my heart.

“Life took us in different directions, and somehow, years passed without either of us reaching out.

“I kept living my life, perhaps thinking there would always be another day, another chance to check on you, to catch up, to gist, to laugh about old times, or to ask, ‘How have you been?’”

She said she never imagined that the next news she would hear about her former friend would be that she had died.

“But I never imagined that the next news I would hear about you would be that you were gone. Just like that. No goodbye, no final conversation, no chance to reconnect,” she added.

Cisse further expressed regret over the years they had spent without communicating, saying she wished she had made time to reconnect with her.

“I know we haven’t spoken in years, but that doesn’t erase what you meant to me or the place you once occupied in my life. Some people become distant, but they never really become strangers in our hearts,” she wrote.

Jemimah’s death comes months after she was celebrated for her outstanding academic performance at UPSA Law School.

She graduated with First Class Honours and received awards for Best Graduating Evening Student and Overall Best Graduating Student for the 2026 class.

Before her remarkable academic achievement, Jemimah was also known for her participation in pageantry. She represented Miss Galaxy Ghana in 2019 and won the admiration of her pageant family.

In a congratulatory message after her academic success, Miss Galaxy Ghana described her journey as an inspiration to others, recalling how she moved from a Pure Science background into the study of Law.

The organisation praised her dedication, sacrifice and determination, noting that her three years of legal studies had paid off.

Another profile of Jemimah described her as a law graduate with a passion for justice, advocacy and excellence.

It also praised her diligence, clarity of thought and commitment to personal growth, adding that she hoped to build a distinguished career in law and use the legal profession to bring meaningful change.

Her academic success and the emotional tributes from those who knew her have brought renewed attention to her life and achievements.

Cisse ended her tribute with a painful message about the opportunity they never got to have again.

“You left without knowing that one day I would wish so badly for just one more chance to talk to you. And that is a pain I will carry with me. I hate myself, Rabi.”

She concluded by wishing her former friend eternal rest.

News of her death has left friends and former acquaintances heartbroken, with some taking to social media to express their sadness and share memories of the brilliant young woman.
