Phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Terry or Dinero, has been found dead days after he was reported missing following a suspected meeting with a client at Teshie in Accra.

His family confirmed his death in a statement, expressing profound sadness and appealing for privacy as investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death continue.

“It is with profound sadness that we share that, after his disappearance, Nana Yaw Kyere has been found. Regrettably, he was not found alive,” the family said.

The development follows reports that Nana Yaw went missing after travelling to Teshie for what was believed to be a meeting with a client.

According to an account attributed to a colleague who was reportedly the last person to communicate with him, Nana Yaw sent a WhatsApp message around midnight on Sunday claiming that he had been “set up” by a woman in a room.

He allegedly shared a photograph of the room and a location indicating that he was in Teshie.

His colleague reportedly became concerned during the exchange after noticing that the messages did not appear consistent with Nana Yaw’s usual style of communication.

A subsequent message allegedly suggested that he had been released and had left the location. However, his failure to return home and unsuccessful attempts to reach him by phone heightened concerns about his whereabouts.

His vehicle has reportedly since been retrieved, while three suspects are said to have been arrested as police continue investigations.

There are also unconfirmed reports alleging that Nana Yaw was kidnapped, killed and buried after being lured to the location. These claims have not been independently confirmed.

The family has appealed for privacy while authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding his death.

It has also expressed gratitude to individuals who assisted in the search and offered prayers and support following his disappearance.
