According to a close friend who spoke to Gossips24 Avenue on YouTube on the same day, a suspect identified as Phil allegedly admitted, within minutes of police questioning, that he was the leader of the gang responsible for Terry's death.
Phil was also accused of having posed as a soldier who attended church despite him not being a military man.

Terry's final hours in Teshie
Before he went silent, Terry is said to have sent a WhatsApp message to a friend saying he had been "set up" and shared his location. That location was later reportedly deleted from the conversation.
A family member who spoke to CDR Africa on X confirmed that the body showed signs of an attempted burning before it was discovered.
Police subsequently recovered Terry's Honda Civic and arrested at least three suspects.
Accounts from relatives suggest Terry had been deliberately targeted. A woman had allegedly spent weeks cultivating a close friendship with him before luring him to a location in Teshie.
A Plus' comments on phone dealer's death
The incident drew renewed attention to a fiery post by Kwame Asare Obeng, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, better known as A Plus, who had already declared on Facebook:
"The most dangerous place in Greater Accra right now is Teshie."
Faced with significant pushback, he doubled down in a lengthy follow-up, upgrading the claim from Greater Accra to the entire country.
"Okay, let me repeat: the most dangerous place in Ghana right now is Teshie! I have upgraded it from Greater Accra to Ghana," he wrote, before detailing that ride-hailing companies had held several security meetings with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority and the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service specifically over crime in the area.
He noted the irony that Teshie hosts some of the country's most significant security installations, including the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College, and the Headquarters of the Southern Command, yet lawlessness reportedly continues in surrounding neighbourhoods.

In a separate, more light-hearted post written in Pidgin, A Plus also clarified that he was not targeting Ga people, noting that his own wife is Ga.
"I never talk say the people of Teshie are dangerous or criminals. I said it is the most dangerous place in Ghana," he wrote, adding: "Make Teshie great again. Yes, we can!"
