Fresh details have emerged following the sudden death of renowned Ghanaian fashion entrepreneur and former beauty queen, Sadia Sanusi, although her family has yet to officially confirm the cause of her passing.
The founder of Sadia Sanusi Kente was reported dead on Sunday, June 14, 2026, just days before her highly anticipated Kente Artistry Masterclass, an event she had been actively preparing for in recent weeks.
As previously reported by Nsemwokrom.com, news of her death sent shockwaves through Ghana’s fashion industry, leaving family members, friends, admirers and fashion enthusiasts struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Now, a close friend and former schoolmate of the late designer has shared what she claims may have led to Sadia Sanusi’s passing.
According to a social media post shared on Monday, June 15, Isabella Wusah-Tetteh, popularly known online as Mrs Kabutey, alleged that Sadia Sanusi passed away in her sleep.
The woman, who identified herself as a former schoolmate of the late fashion entrepreneur at Garrison Basic School in Burma Camp, expressed disbelief and sadness while mourning her friend’s passing.
In an emotional tribute shared online, she wrote:
“The rumor started from yesterday only to wake up at midnight and your pictures are all over. One cute girl back in GARRISON BASIC SCHOOL Burma Camp. You truly are among those who made our school proud. “Oh, death! Lord! How can you tell me she slept and never woke up? Lord, teach us to number our days, teach us to take care of ourselves eeeeeiiii. Rest well, Halima Sadia Sanusi Sadia Suave Sanusi.”
The tribute has since attracted attention on social media, with many people expressing sympathy and reflecting on the shocking nature of the claims.
Cause Of Death Not Officially Confirmed
Despite the claims made by Isabella Wusah-Tetteh, it is important to note that the family of Sadia Sanusi has not publicly confirmed the cause of her death.
At the time of publication, no official statement had been released explaining the circumstances surrounding her passing.

Many social media users have therefore urged caution while awaiting an official update from the family.
