KNUST student who allegedly murdered girlfriend remanded again

A final-year student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Daniel Tuffour, has been remanded by the court for the second time over his alleged involvement in the death of his girlfriend, Joana Deladem Yabani.

Yabani’s lifeless body was discovered on the KNUST campus on February 27, 2025. CCTV footage reportedly captured a man, believed to be Tuffour, strangling her to death following an altercation.

Tuffour was arrested hours after the incident and first appeared in court, where he was remanded.

At his second court appearance, the prosecutor informed the court that the case docket had been forwarded to the Attorney General’s office for advice.

The prosecution, therefore, requested that the suspect remain in custody, a request the court granted.

The case has been adjourned to April 1, 2025, by which time the Attorney General’s advice is expected to be ready.
