Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster Serwaa Amihere has officially stepped into her new chapter as a lawyer after being called to the Bar.

A video sighted by The Independent Ghana captured the TV presenter at the entrance of a court building, elegantly dressed in her lawyer’s robe. She was seen holding some documents while scrolling through her new iPhone 17.

Moments later, Serwaa was spotted descending the stairs of the Accra High Court premises, where a luxurious Lexus RX350 SUV arrived to pick her up. It remains unclear whether her visit to the courthouse was in connection with a legal case or for another purpose.

On Friday, October 10, 2025, Serwaa joined 824 newly qualified lawyers who were called to the Bar at a grand ceremony held at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC). The event brought together members of the Judiciary, the General Legal Council, prominent legal practitioners, and political dignitaries.

The GHOne TV presenter attended the ceremony with her mother, Madam Lydia Tetteh, her sister Maame Gyamfua, and close friends, including lawyer and socialite Sandra Ankobiah and actress Fella Makafui.

Serwaa Amihere Esq. has shared that being called to the BAR has been the most joyful experience of her life in the past 35 years.

She was speaking at her graduation lunch yesterday in Accra in a beautifully decorated space filled with her loved ones.

"I tweeted that today is the happiest day of my life yet. I am hopeful that I will have happier days, but in my thirty-five years, today is my happiest day. And I have invited carefully people that I love that I know that love me back as well to celebrate this day with me."

At lunch, she also mentioned that the feat, even though a reality, it feels incredible to her.

"Today I have become a lawyer, and I still can't believe it," ESQ SerwaaAmiherwe mentioned.

Serwaa Amihere was called to the BAR yesterday, October 10, 2025.

Sharing a glimpse of her journey on social media, the now barrister indicated that she deliberately kept the news away from the public over the past 5 years.

"Making this known in a post shared via social media, she said “40 subjects. 40 exams. Over 2,500 lecture-hours. More than 8,000 hours of private studies and group discussions. A thousand plus judicial decisions. Several volumes of textbooks and monographs."

"Dozens of enactments, and many more dozens of pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, and sticky notes. Sleepy days and sleepless nights. This is the aspect of my life which I’ve carefully kept away from the public in the last 5 years. Thanks to God, my beloved family and you, wonderful individuals, who supported me through it all. To a new chapter,” Serwaa wrote in a post.

The Ghana School of Law admitted 824 lawyers-in-waiting to the Bar on October 10, 2025.

The ceremony signified the end of years of perseverance, commitment, and determination by the prospective lawyers.

Announcing the call to the Bar, the Ghana School of Law stated, “A new generation of lawyers is ready to serve with integrity and excellence.”

In 2023, Kennedy Osei, son of Dr Osei Kwame Despite, was also called to the bar.

He joins the tall list of graduates called to the bar, clad the black and white attire matching it with a peruke that brought a sense of formality and solemnity to their graduation ceremony, Friday, November 11, 2022.

In a post he shared on his Instagram, he posed wearing his graduation gown while seated with one leg crossed on the other.

His caption that accompanied the post read, “The Time Is Here: KENNEDY ASANTE OSEI ESQ. #GODFIRST. Thank you.”

His post has attracted many social media users and some stars to congratulate the businessman on achieving a higher milestone.

Reacting to his post, netizens shared many clapping emojis with others who expressed joy and shock after the post was shared barely one hour ago.

So far, his post has amassed close to seven thousand likes with over a hundred comments.

A social media reaction shared by Afia Schwarzenegger read, “Eishhhhhhh my learned colleague…[with five clapping emojis].”

Clemento Suarez also added, “Congratulations my fellow atta papa” while Selassie Ibrahim kept it simple with a warm “Congratulations.”

In the same year, the wife of actor turned politician John Dumelo, Gifty Mawunya Nkornu, was called to the bar.

She was called to the bar on Friday, May 5, 2023.

This was made public by her husband in Facebook post.

A proud husband took to his social media handles to celebrate his wife for her achievement.

John Dumelo shared a photo of his wife in her judicial gown and wig, plus another picture taken with their kids.

“Congratulations my love for being called to the Ghana Bar today. You are now Mrs Gifty Mawunya Dumelo Esq. I have cases for you already lol. Love you,” he wrote.

The couple got married in 2018 and share two children.

The General Legal Council (GLC) reversed its decision to admit Ms. Elorm Ababio, who is widely recognized on social media as Ama Governor, to the bar.

This change was communicated in a letter dated October 18, 2023, signed by Justice Cynthia Pamela Addo, the Secretary to the GLC.

The GLC explained that although Ms. Ababio had submitted the appropriate application and was initially scheduled to be called to the bar on October 20, 2023, the council has now reconsidered its decision.

According to the letter, upon receiving her application, Ms. Ababio had been informed that her conduct would be closely monitored by the Council, in adherence to the regulations governing the legal profession.

“In line with the General Legal Council’s letter dated 13th March, 2023, Council was to observe and monitor your conduct during the time leading up to the submission of your application to be called to the bar” the GLC stated.

The letter indicated that Ms Ababio couldn’t meet the criteria, hence her application to be called to the Ghanaian bar has been declined.

“At the meeting of the General Legal Council held on Tuesday, 17th October, 2023, your application to be called to the bar was declined on account of elements noted in your public conduct prior to the application,” the Council explained.

The General Legal Council (GLC) has allowed Ms. Elorm Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, to re-apply for admission to the bar any time after October 20, 2023.

The GLC will continue to monitor Ms. Ababio's conduct until it is satisfied that she meets the standards required for admission to the bar.
