A family member confirmed to CDR Africa that Kyere's body was discovered on the morning of Thursday, 24 September 2026, days after news of his disappearance broke.
According to the relative, there were indications that an attempt had been made to set the body on fire before it was found, though the effort reportedly failed.
Phone dealer's final trip to Teshie
Kyere had reportedly travelled to Teshie to complete what was described as a business transaction.
The nature of the deal has not been publicly disclosed, but his failure to return raised alarm among those close to him.
His Honda Civic was later recovered, and at least three suspects were arrested by police.
A WhatsApp exchange with a close friend showed that Kyere had gone to meet a woman in Teshie.
He messaged the friend that he had been “set up” and shared his location, which was later deleted from the chat.
According to the relative, the woman had allegedly pretended for some time to be interested in friendship — a pattern described as a known method in which a woman targets someone dealing in valuable goods, builds contact over weeks or months, then invites the person over.
Once there, the relative said, the victim’s belongings are taken, and in many cases the person does not leave unharmed.
It was only after a search that his body was eventually located in the area.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, and no official statement had been released by the time the story was reported by CDR Africa on X on 24 September 2026.
Counsellor on Nana Yaw Kyere's demise
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of the Nsroma Consult, detailed the stages of grief that families often go through after the loss of a loved one and how they can healthily manage them.
She said:
"Grief often comes in stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and eventually acceptance. These stages don’t always come in order, and everyone grieves differently. It’s okay to cry, to feel numb, or even to question why."
"What’s important is to allow yourself to grieve and not rush the process. Talking about your feelings, spending time with loved ones, and drawing strength from faith are healthy ways to cope."
"Healing doesn’t mean you stop missing the person—it means you learn to live with the love and memories they left behind."
