KNUST Final-Year Student Remanded Again in Murder Case

KNUST Student Remanded Again Over Female Student’s Death

Daniel Tuffour, a final-year student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has been placed under remand in detention once more in relation to the alleged murder of Joana Deladem Yabani, a fellow student. Yabani’s lifeless body was found on campus on February 27, 2025, marking the terrible event. Tuffour was arrested a few hours after the finding as a result of the authorities’ quick response.

After his first court appearance, he was placed under remand while the investigation proceeded. The prosecution told the court during his second court appearance on March 17, 2025, that the case docket had been sent to the Attorney General’s office for additional legal guidance. The prosecution asked the court to hold Tuffour in custody while they await the Attorney General’s decision, citing the seriousness of the case.

This request was granted by the court, and Tuffour was remanded until his subsequent appearance on April 1, 2025, when the Attorney General’s recommendations are anticipated to be made. Students, teachers, and the larger Ghanaian community have been keenly monitoring developments in the case, which has attracted a lot of public interest. To guarantee that justice is done, authorities have promised the public a comprehensive inquiry.
