Tragedy Hits UPSA Law School As 2026 Best Graduating Student Rabiatu Jemimah Reportedly Dies

The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), has reportedly been thrown into mourning following news of the death of Miss Rabiatu Wesoamu Jemimah, the institution’s 2026 Overall Best Graduating Student and valedictorian of its Law School.

According to a report by Ghbase News on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Jemimah’s reported passing has shocked friends, former classmates and members of the academic community, particularly given her outstanding academic achievements.

She graduated from the UPSA Law School with First Class Honours, earning recognition as the overall best graduating student for the 2026 academic year. Her exceptional performance also earned her the Best Graduating Evening Student award.

News of her reported death has generated emotional reactions, with several people taking to social media to share tributes and memories of their association with her.

One of the tributes came from Cisse Muniya Cisse, who revealed that she and Jemimah had shared a close friendship before gradually losing contact as life took them in different directions.

Cisse expressed regret that they had not reconnected over the years, explaining that she never expected the next time she would hear about her former friend would be through news of her death.

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

She further expressed sadness that they would no longer have the opportunity to meet, reminisce about their experiences and catch up on developments in their lives.

“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 also reflected on the lasting nature of their friendship, stating, “Some people become distant, but they never really become strangers in our hearts.”

Beyond her academic accomplishments, Jemimah reportedly had an interest in pageantry and represented Miss Galaxy Ghana in 2019, further demonstrating her involvement in activities outside the classroom.

However, details surrounding her reported death, including the exact date and cause, remain unclear based on the report.

Her reported passing has left friends and members of the academic community reflecting on her achievements and the promising future she appeared to have ahead of her. As tributes continue to emerge, sympathies are being extended to her family, friends and former classmates.
