A 21-year-old final-year student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Daniel Tuffuor, has been remanded in police custody in connection with 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 the discovery of Yabani’s body on campus earlier that morning. The university’s security service alerted the authorities, who subsequently informed the police.

The two are believed to have been in a romantic relationship at the time of Yabani’s death. Following his arrest, Tuffuor was brought before the Prempeh District Court, where prosecutors requested his remand for further investigation into the incident. The court granted the request, and Tuffuor is scheduled to appear again on March 17, 2025.

Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Yabani’s death, with further details yet to be confirmed.
