He said reports that Daniel Tuffour wrote a mid-semester exam the next day after allegedly ending the life of his girlfriend created the impression that he might be mentally deranged.
"According to reports, after killing the lady, he stayed next to the body for 14 minutes. For me, I don't understand. What could make me understand is that the guy may be mentally deranged."
"Because if his mind works, listening to the surprising incident: he wore the same dresses he allegedly used during that act to write his exams. If you have a conscience, if you are sane, there is no way that you kill someone and immediately go sit comfortably and write an exam. They should look at the answers he provided in that exam. If he was able to write, then it confirms the suspicions we have that the guy may not be okay", he said in the video.
He concluded by asking if it would be possible for the police to check the mental health of Daniel Tuffour to ascertain if he was sane.

"I think the police, if possible, they could recommend a checkup for the guy to find out whether he is really sane", he said in the video.

Social media users who took to the comment section of the video expressed sorrow over the demise of Joana Yabani. Others also called out Daniel Tuffour over his alleged involvement in Joana Yabani's death.
@ladyb4574 indicated:
"He's narcissistic. Narcissists have zero empathy. No feelings. Very controlling. The world rotates around them. When you see one, run, run, run."
@darkwahjoshua30 stated:
"Hmm, anger is a spirit; if u don't control urself, it will end your life."
@statef_inertia stated:
"I love the fact that men are the ones talking about this more. And you can see those who are very concerned and those who just want to trend. May God save us. Woe to the women always seeking after men's validation and will do anything to break other women over that. They will learn in a hard way."
