The friends of Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Dinero, a phone dealer based at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra, are demanding swift action from the Ghana Police Service following his reported death on September 20, 2026. Dinero travelled to Teshie for a business transaction, but his life was cut short. His family confirmed his death on September 24, 2026, after a suspect led police to where his body had been buried near the sea in Teshie.
According to reports, Dinero sent a WhatsApp message to a colleague around midnight on the day of his death, stating that he had been set up. The police have since arrested three people in connection with the case, with one of them, a mechanic, granted bail. The friends of Dinero are seeking a favourable update from the police within one to two months to show that the case is being taken seriously.
In a video shared by AdomTV, a close friend of Dinero, whose name was not given, stated that they were prepared to hit the streets if the case was not given the attention it deserves. The friend argued that even if rumours that Dinero had visited another man's girlfriend were true, that would not justify taking his life. The friends are demanding justice for Dinero and are willing to demonstrate if necessary.
Dinero's family has previously appealed for privacy as police investigations continue. The friends of Dinero held a candlelight vigil in his memory on September 26, 2026, with mourners dressed in black and holding candles as they reflected on his life and called for a full investigation into his death. The gathering drew sympathy from people outside his immediate circle.
Social media users have backed the call for justice, with some agreeing that nothing justified Dinero's death while others urged caution in relationships. Many have expressed sadness over the incident, with some calling for an end to the practice of having interest in someone's girlfriend or wife. The hashtag #JusticeForDinero has been trending, with users sharing their thoughts and condolences.
The police are yet to provide an update on the case, but the friends of Dinero are hopeful that they will take swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice. The incident has sparked a national conversation about the need for accountability and the protection of citizens' lives. As the investigation continues, the friends and family of Dinero are eagerly awaiting justice.
