Meet 21-year-old Nana Danquah Adjei Domson from Breman Asikuma, the youngest person ever called to the Bar in Ghana

Lawyer at 21, a feat worth celebrating: Meet Breman Asikuma’s Nana Danquah Adjei Domson, Esq.

From the quiet town of Breman Asikuma in Ghana’s Central Region emerges a young man whose story is inspiring an entire generation. Nana Danquah Adjei Domson, Esq., has arguably become Ghana’s youngest lawyer — called to the Bar at just 21 years old — a feat that has amazed many and filled his community with pride.

Born on April 12, 2004, Danquah’s journey has been marked by consistent brilliance and discipline. He began his education at Breman Asikuma Colonel Baidoo Basic School, completing basic school by the age of 12, far ahead of most of his peers.

He later attended Breman Asikuma Senior High School, but soon transferred to Life International College in Tema, where he completed his secondary education at just 15 years old.

In 2019, while most of his age mates were still in high school, Danquah gained admission into the University of Cape Coast’s Faculty of Law. He studied with focus and determination, blending youthful curiosity with the discipline of a true scholar. Four years later, in 2023, he graduated with First Class Honours — a major milestone on his journey to becoming a lawyer.

After university, he advanced to the Ghana School of Law at Makola, where he spent two intense years mastering the practice and ethics of the legal profession. On October 10, 2025, at only 21 years old, Danquah achieved what many only dream of — he was officially called to the Ghana Bar.

Before Danquah, the youngest person ever called to the Bar in Ghana was Akpene Darko Cobbina, who achieved the milestone in 2019 at age 22. Prior to that, the record was held by Sarah Adwoa Safo, who was called at 22 years and 280 days in 2004. Now, Danquah has set a new benchmark — one that may stand for years to come.
