A 21-year-old final-year student of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Daniel Tuffuor, has been remanded into police custody over the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Joana Deladem Yabani, also a final-year student at the university.
Tuffuor was arrested on Thursday, February 27, 2025, after Joana’s lifeless body was discovered on campus earlier that morning. The university’s security service reported the incident to the police, leading to his arrest.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the deceased and the suspect were in a romantic relationship at the time of her death. Tuffuor was arraigned before the Prempeh District Court, where prosecutors requested his remand to allow further investigations. The court granted the request. The suspect is expected to reappear on March 17, 2025.
Authorities are still piecing together the circumstances surrounding Joana’s tragic death as investigations continue.
