Prophet Kofi Oduro, founder of Alabaster International Ministry, has spoken out about the death of Nana Yaw Kyere, a phone dealer based in Circle, Accra. During a church service on Sunday, September 27, 2026, Prophet Oduro offered condolences to Kyere's family and used the occasion to speak about the dangers of sexual immorality and the importance of self-control. He quoted scripture, warning against entanglements with what he described as strange women.
Nana Yaw Kyere, widely known as Terry or Dinero, disappeared on September 20, 2026, after traveling to Teshie for a phone deal. He sent a WhatsApp message to a friend claiming he had been set up. His body was discovered in Teshie on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Prophet Oduro described Kyere as a young man who had built something real through hard work and legitimate business, making the manner of his death all the more difficult to reconcile.
Prophet Oduro condemned the circumstances surrounding Kyere's killing, noting that the young man was murdered, his body allegedly mutilated, and an attempt was reportedly made to burn it before he was buried. The preacher quoted the Bible directly, saying, "By reason of a whore, a harlot, a man shall be reduced to a piece of bread." He also drew on a scripture comparing a person who fails to control their emotions to "a city whose walls are broken down."
The preacher further cited Ecclesiastes 7:17, which cautions against being overly wicked or foolish and dying before one's time, framing it as a warning that Kyere's story ought to bring to mind. Prophet Oduro's message was conveyed through a video that circulated on social media, with many calling for justice and an investigation into Kyere's death.
A candlelight vigil was held for Nana Yaw Kyere, with friends and colleagues gathering in black to honor his memory and call for justice. The event was a testament to the impact Kyere had on those who knew him. Prophet Oduro's comments have sparked a wider conversation about the importance of self-control and the dangers of ignoring sound advice.
Kyere's family confirmed his death shortly after, with police investigations launched into the matter. The authorities have yet to make any arrests or provide updates on the investigation. Prophet Oduro's message has resonated with many, who see the need for greater awareness about the importance of self-control and the dangers of sexual immorality.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of phone dealers and the need for greater vigilance in the industry. As the investigation into Kyere's death continues, many are calling for justice and an end to the senseless violence that has claimed his life.
