A Computer Science student at the University for Development Studies (UDS), Nyankpala campus, Salifu Nurudeen, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Tamale High Court for the murder of his colleague, Wumpini Mohammed Zakiu.
The incident, which took place in September 2024, reportedly stemmed from a romantic dispute involving a fellow student. According to court findings, Nurudeen’s girlfriend—also a student at UDS—ended their relationship and began dating Wumpini, the victim.
On September 25, 2024, Wumpini’s lifeless body was discovered bearing multiple stab wounds. His mobile phone was also missing from the scene. Following an investigation led by the police cybercrime unit, the victim’s phone was traced to Nurudeen's location and found hidden under his bed.
Evidence presented in court revealed that Nurudeen used the stolen phone to send deceptive messages. One message was sent to the girlfriend, impersonating Wumpini and pretending to end the relationship. Another message was sent to one of Wumpini’s friends.
Nurudeen was arrested after being lured to Jubilee Park. While he admitted to sending the text messages, he denied committing the murder.
After reviewing the evidence, the Tamale High Court found Nurudeen guilty of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
