Two women who previously dated Phil, the prime suspect in the death of Accra phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere, widely known as Terry, have come forward to share their personal experiences with him. They describe a complicated individual with a history of secrecy and deception. Terry, a mobile phone trader from the Circle area of Accra, was found dead on the morning of Thursday, September 24, 2026, in Teshie.

One ex-girlfriend shared that Phil contacted her just two weeks before the incident, pressuring her to visit after two years of no contact. She described Phil as a quiet individual who rarely spoke up and was always at church on Sundays. This was the last time she spoke with him, and she admitted struggling to reconcile the Phil she knew with the accusations now being made against him.

A second woman who also allegedly dated Phil offered a starkly different account of who he was in private. She described the relationship as difficult from the start, saying he was deeply secretive and withheld a great deal from her during their time together, which ultimately led her to walk away. She also alleged that Phil had claimed to be a soldier, a lie she saw through early in the relationship.

According to a close friend of Terry who spoke to Gossips24 Avenue on YouTube, Terry was a lively and warm person who would be sorely missed. The friend reflected on the painful irony of how the young trader lost his life. Terry had reportedly told his pregnant partner he was stepping out briefly to buy something, but had in fact travelled to meet another woman.

Before going silent, Terry managed to send a WhatsApp message to a close friend saying he had been "set up" and shared his location, though the location was later deleted from the conversation. A family member confirmed that there were signs someone had attempted to burn his body before it was discovered. His Honda Civic was later recovered, and at least three suspects were taken into custody by the Ghana Police.

Phil, described as a church member who had been posing as a fake soldier, reportedly admitted his role in the crime shortly after police interrogation. YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the mobile phone trader from the Circle area of Accra, Nana Yaw Kyere, widely known by his street name Terry, has been found dead in Teshie, with the prime suspect behind his death allegedly confessing to the crime after police questioning.

The two ex-girlfriends' accounts of Phil paint a picture of a complex individual with a history of deception. Their statements add to the growing body of evidence against Phil, who is now facing serious charges in connection with Terry's death. The case continues to unfold, with the Ghana Police investigating and gathering evidence.
