Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a first-class graduate who was rejected by Ghana Law School finally succeeds.
Coleman was among many students who failed to enter the School of Law after taking an entrance exam and attending an interview.
Prior to his fate, he had graduated with a first-class degree in law from the University of Cape Coast after he studied political science and information studies at the University of Ghana.
Dr Coleman said that he even got the opportunity to prepare most of his classmates that made it to Makola so he was still at a loss as to why he did not pass.
