The sister of late Accra phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere, Maame Sika Edam, has publicly rejected social media claims about the circumstances surrounding his death. Nana Yaw, popularly known as Dinero or Terry, was found dead in Teshie on Thursday, September 24, 2026, after leaving his home on what his family described as a routine errand. His death quickly drew online attention, with various accounts emerging about why he had stepped out that day.
In a video shared by GHnow on TikTok on Saturday, September 26, Maame Sika Edam addressed the rumours directly. She maintained that Nana Yaw Kyere had gone out to attend to a customer's phone delivery request, not to meet a woman as widely claimed online. Maame Sika described her late brother as a calm and reserved individual, and expressed frustration that social media users were attaching motives to his movements without, in her view, any factual basis.
Maame Sika questioned why people felt comfortable drawing conclusions about a person they did not know, and urged the public to stop circulating what she called fake news about the deceased. Her statement was pointed: she went further to warn that those who continued spreading false stories about Nana Yaw would face spiritual consequences. This warning was made in response to various social media posts speculating about the reasons behind his death.
The family's comments have introduced a fresh dimension to discussions about the phone dealer's death, particularly as details about what exactly happened after he left home remain unclear. Maame Sika's appeal has not, however, quieted all online debate. The family has continued to ask members of the public to exercise caution before sharing unverified claims about Nana Yaw, as efforts to establish a clearer picture of what happened on the day of his death continue.
Social media users continued to weigh in on the matter, with opinions divided between those who questioned the family's account and those who felt the circumstances of his death were beside the point. Some users argued that even if Nana Yaw had gone to meet a woman, it did not justify his death. Others expressed skepticism about the family's account, citing a chat that suggested he was meeting a lady.
Prophet Kofi Oduro had earlier reacted to Kyere's death during a church service, offering condolences and speaking about sexual immorality and self-control. His comments added another layer to the discussions about the phone dealer's death, with some users drawing connections between his words and the circumstances surrounding Nana Yaw's death.
The identity of a woman arrested over Nana Yaw Kyere's death in Teshie has surfaced, with videos and images circulating online. The developments have sparked a range of reactions, from calls for caution to speculation about the motives behind the crime. As investigations continue, the family and friends of Nana Yaw Kyere are urging the public to be patient and to avoid spreading unverified information.
