Ghana’s news landscape continues to dominate headlines following the tragic death of Terry Yaw Kyere, better known as ‘Dinero,’ the central figure in the Circle phone dealership network. A significant development has occurred today as Philip Tefe, the individual implicated in the incident, addressed the matter for the first time since the news broke.
In a video released on X (formerly Twitter) and subsequently sighted by GhanaWeb on September 26, 2026, Tefe stated, ‘There was a fight between us, and I left the room to take a walk.’ This account, delivered directly to the public, offers a preliminary explanation for the events leading up to the death. Initial reports suggest a dispute between Tefe and Kyere, with allegations that Kyere was lured to Teshie through a fraudulent ‘catfishing’ scheme, a tactic employed to deceive targets into meeting in person. The circumstances surrounding the precise sequence of events following Tefe’s departure remain a key focus of an ongoing investigation by Ghanaian authorities.
The Ghana Police Service in Teshie swiftly initiated a response, taking a woman into custody and subsequently arresting another individual. The identities of these two individuals are currently under wraps by authorities, though details remain scarce. The case has sparked considerable public interest and demands for swift justice. Terry, a prominent figure within the Circle phone trading circles of Accra, had cultivated a substantial reputation within this sector, making his untimely demise all the more shocking to those who knew him or followed his work. Investigations into the full circumstances of his death are actively underway.
Prior to this development, YEN.com.gh published a report detailing Tefe’s alleged involvement with the death of Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Terry or Dinero. Furthermore, reports have emerged suggesting Tefe’s connection to the missing phone and vehicle of Terry, although specific details are still unconfirmed. The police are investigating whether Tefe was involved in the tracing of Terry’s phone and vehicle, and the evidence gathered is being meticulously analyzed.
In response to the public outcry, the Ghana Police Service has issued a statement acknowledging the gravity of the situation. They have also indicated that the investigation is ongoing, and they are actively pursuing all leads.
