In a statement issued by the Office of the Registrar, the university revealed that significant progress has been made in the case, with crucial evidence now in the hands of investigators.
According to the statement, the police and university security services have successfully retrieved Joana’s laptop and mobile phone, which were found hidden behind the Flint Hostel.
