Veteran Ghanaian broadcaster Ewulu Nii Adjei Klu has criticized Gomoa Central MP Kwame A-Plus for his claim that Teshie is now the most dangerous place in the Greater Accra Region. In a video response, Klu described the comment as irresponsible and warned that it could put people from Teshie at risk. The MP's remark came after the death of Circle phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Dinero, in Teshie on September 20, 2026.
A-Plus made the comment on a Facebook post on Sunday, September 27, 2026, writing: "The most dangerous place in Greater Accra right now is Teshie." The post drew over 8,400 reactions and 1,600 comments at the time of writing. Klu expressed sadness over Dinero's death but emphasized that Teshie is a peaceful town where people can walk about 24 hours a day.
According to Klu, none of those arrested over Dinero's death were indigenes of Teshie, and the incident occurred near the Manet area rather than the main township. He argued that migrants, including people from A-Plus's constituency, were behind the misconduct in the area. Klu urged the MP to be responsible in his utterances and not to capitalize on the incident to disrespect the people of Teshie.
In a counter-criticism, Klu pointed to a land dispute in A-Plus's constituency, Gomoa Central, which resulted in the killing of three people about two months ago. He questioned the MP's moral right to label Teshie as dangerous when such violence occurred in his own constituency. Klu asked, "Won't you know or don't you know that your constituency is the most dangerous place in the Central Region? How can you tag a whole community?"
The TikTok video of Ewulu Nii Adjei Klu, in which he responds to A-Plus's comment, has garnered significant attention. Philip Tefe, a person at the center of Dinero's death, spoke publicly in a video that circulated on X on September 26, 2026, saying there was a fight between them, and that he then left the room to take a walk.
Authorities have made arrests in connection with Dinero's death, and investigations are ongoing. The woman and another individual arrested in connection with the case had not been named by authorities at the time. Prophet Kofi Oduro has also dropped a strong message after the brutal killing of Circle phone dealer Dinero.
The controversy surrounding Teshie's safety has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for responsible utterances from leaders. The incident has also raised concerns about the security situation in the Greater Accra Region. Key points to note include:
