A former boss of Daniel Tuffour, the suspect in Joana Yabani's death, has spoken after the young lady's demise and the suspect's arrest.

In an X post, the former boss stated that Daniel was an intern at his firm who worked with him for a while.

He described Daniel as a calm, young man who found it difficult to utter a word during his stay at his firm. He was therefore in total disbelief when he heard of the news.

"Daniel in here was my intern about a year ago. I’m as shocked as I can be. He just comes to the lab with his akata dbee life , speaks less, always had his necklaces lol. When the other interns told me the news I froze. Life," he said.
