How Terry Dinero was allegedly lured to death

Police said Terry Dinero left his home at Kokomlemle in Accra on 19 September 2026, driving his Honda Civic, and never came back.

A statement released on Monday, 28 September, noted that preliminary inquiries pointed to Dinero having been lured to Tefe's residence at Teshie Aghbleza by a second suspect, Sarah Osei Adams.

According to police, both Phil Tefe and Sarah later confessed to their roles in what followed.

Investigators say Tefe struck Kyere with a metallic object during a confrontation, wounding him. The injured man was then moved to a separate room and left without any medical attention, where he subsequently died.

Dinero's family reported him missing on 22 September 2026, four days after he disappeared.

A third suspect, Josiah Obodai, was subsequently arrested over the alleged disposal of the body. Police believe Obodai used his father's Kia Morning to help transport Terry Dinero's remains to a bushy area near the motorway on 20 September, where the body was dumped and set alight. The vehicle has been impounded by investigators.
