A 21-year-old final-year student of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Daniel Tuffuor, has been remanded into police custody in connection with the tragic death of Joana Deladem Yabani, a fellow final-year student.
The case took a shocking turn on Thursday, February 27, 2025, when Joana’s lifeless body was discovered on campus, prompting university security to alert the police. Investigations quickly led to the arrest of Tuffuor, who is believed to have been in a romantic relationship with the deceased.
Tuffuor appeared before the Prempeh District Court, where prosecutors requested additional time for investigations. The court granted the request, ordering that he remain in custody until his next appearance on March 17, 2025.
Authorities have yet to determine the exact circumstances leading to Joana’s death, as forensic examinations and further inquiries continue. The incident has sent shockwaves through the university community, with students and faculty calling for a thorough investigation to bring clarity and justice to the case.
