The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with the alleged kidnapping and murder of 33-year-old Nana Yaw Kyere, who was reported missing on September 22, 2026.
The suspects have been identified as Philip Dzifa Kofi Tefe, Sarah Osei Adams and Josiah Obodai.
According to the Police, the arrests followed investigations by its Missing Persons Unit after Nana Yaw Kyere reportedly left his residence at Kokomlemle in Accra on September 19 in his Honda Civic vehicle and failed to return.
Preliminary investigations established that the victim was allegedly lured to the residence of Philip Tefe at Teshie Agbleza by Sarah Osei Adams.
The Police said both suspects later confessed to their involvement in the incident.
According to their accounts, Philip Tefe attacked Nana Yaw Kyere during a confrontation and struck him with a metallic object, causing injuries.
The victim was subsequently moved to another room, where he was left unattended and later died.
Investigators further established that the victim’s body was conveyed in a Kia Morning vehicle to a location near the motorway on September 20.
The body was allegedly dumped in a bush and set ablaze.
The partially burnt remains were discovered at Community 18 on September 21.
The victim’s biological mother and an uncle later identified the body at the Police Hospital morgue on September 24.
The Police have also retrieved the victim’s iPhone 12, which Philip Tefe allegedly sold for GH¢100.
The buyer, identified as Sunday Omeje, has been cautioned and detained for allegedly dishonestly receiving the phone.
Further investigations led to the arrest of Josiah Obodai, who is being investigated over the alleged disposal of the victim’s body.
His father’s Kia Morning vehicle, which investigators believe was used to transport the body, has also been impounded.
The three suspects are currently in Police custody and are expected to be put before the court as investigations continue.
The Police said efforts are also underway to identify and arrest other persons who may have been involved in the incident.
