Ghanaian actress and social media personality Akuapem Poloo has expressed her distress over the death of Nana Yaw Kyere, a phone dealer commonly known as Terry or Dinero. Kyere was found dead in Teshie on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Akuapem Poloo shared her reaction on Instagram on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, characterising the incident as a deeply troubling state of affairs in the country.
Akuapem Poloo drew a connection between Nana Yaw Kyere's death and a separate case involving a deceased Immigration officer, framing both incidents as signs of a broader crisis demanding accountability. In her Instagram post, she wrote, "Ghana is bleeding. First, it was the Immigration Officer, now the Phone dealer. We need justice to be served, please." Her post added a prominent voice to those calling for justice, as court proceedings and police investigations into the case continue.
Nana Yaw Kyere, who operated in the Kwame Nkrumah Circle area of Accra, was reported to have travelled to Teshie in connection with a phone transaction before he was found dead. His passing drew widespread public attention and prompted a police investigation that led to the arrest of three individuals. The suspects, Philip Dzifa Kofi Tefe, Sarah Osei Adams, and Josiah Obodai, appeared before the Teshie-Nungua District Court on Monday, September 28, 2026.
Among the more disturbing details to emerge from the Ghana Police Service's account of its investigation was the claim that the suspects transported Kyere's body to the Community 18 area and attempted to burn it in an effort to conceal evidence of the crime. The revelation intensified public outcry, with many Ghanaians demanding that the authorities conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into how the phone dealer met his end.
The police allege that Kyere was attacked at a residence in Teshie Agbleza and later abandoned. Investigators claim his body was transported, dumped near the motorway, and set ablaze. Three suspects are in custody as police investigate whether others were involved. The case has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.
Sister Sandy, a Ghanaian media personality, also reacted to the police account of how Circle phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere died. Her reaction added to the growing public outcry over the incident. The police investigation is ongoing, and the court proceedings against the three suspects continue.
