Veteran Ghanaian broadcaster Ewulu Nii Adjei Klu has publicly criticized Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus. A-Plus recently described Teshie as the most dangerous place in the Greater Accra Region following the reported murder of a Circle-based phone dealer, Nana Yaw Kyere, known as Dinero. Klu argued that the murder should not be used to label the entire Teshie community as dangerous.
The incident occurred on September 20, 2026, when Kyere traveled to Teshie for a business transaction. His family confirmed on September 24 that he had been found dead, with reports alleging that his body had been buried near the sea in the area. A-Plus made the claim in a Facebook comment on September 27, 2026, which attracted over 8,400 reactions and 1,600 comments. The police have arrested some individuals in connection with the case, while investigations continue.
Klu described A-Plus's statement as irresponsible and cautioned against portraying Teshie as a dangerous community based on one criminal incident. In a video, Klu stated that Teshie has historically been a place where people can move around freely, including at night. He expressed sadness over the murder but emphasized that it should not be used to characterize the entire community.
Klu further argued that those accused in connection with Kyere's death were not indigenes of Teshie. He claimed that the incident occurred around the Manet area rather than within the main township. Klu questioned the decision to use the incident to characterize the entire community as dangerous, arguing that criminal activity in an area should not automatically be attributed to its residents.
The veteran broadcaster suggested that some people involved in criminal activity in the area were migrants, including individuals from outside Teshie. Klu advised A-Plus to exercise greater caution when making public comments about security-related incidents, particularly when such statements could affect how an entire community is perceived.
A-Plus's comments have sparked significant engagement on social media, highlighting concerns about safety and security in Teshie. The police investigation into Kyere's death remains ongoing, and further details are expected as authorities continue their work to establish what happened. The incident has raised questions about the impact of isolated crimes on community perceptions.
The criticism from Klu reflects broader concerns about the potential consequences of making sweeping statements about community safety. As investigations continue, residents and observers are watching closely to see how the situation unfolds and how community leaders engage with issues of safety and security.
