A Circle-based mobile phone trader, Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Terry, was found dead in Teshie on the morning of Thursday, September 24, 2026, days after he went missing following what was described as a business trip to the area.

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.

Terry's final hours in Teshie

Before he fell silent, Terry sent a WhatsApp message to a friend saying he had been "set up" and shared his location. That location was later 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, though the effort reportedly failed.

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.

Friends described it as a calculated pattern used against traders dealing in valuable goods, where the victim is befriended over time, invited somewhere, and robbed, often fatally.

"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.
