Isaac Sekyi, 36, and Reindolf Sekeni, 45, alias Okeley, were remanded into prison custody by the Dambai Magistrate Court on Thursday, November 12, 2026, for their alleged roles in the murder of Rejoice Sena Akpaku, 39. Akpaku’s body was found in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
The suspects were arraigned on the same day and are due to appear again in court on December 2, 2026. Akpaku had travelled from Somanya in the Eastern Region to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, to recover GH¢19,000 that she claimed was owed to her by Sekyi. She did not return, prompting a police investigation into her disappearance.
Police arrested Sekyi on November 10, 2026, and traced the victim’s Infinix Smart 8 phone to his girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah. Koumah told investigators that Sekyi had given her the phone before handing it to his brother, Frank Sekyi. The device was later found flashed and its SIM card removed. A mobile phone technician, Mohammed Ali, was also arrested in connection with the case.
On November 11, Sekyi confessed to the murder and named Sekeni as an accomplice. He led investigators to the site where Akpaku’s body was abandoned, and the victim was identified by one of her siblings. Police recovered a stick that was allegedly used in the attack and are treating it as evidence.
While Sekyi and Sekeni remain in custody, three other individuals arrested during the investigation have been granted police enquiry bail to assist further inquiries. The Ghana Police Service has pledged that the investigation will proceed professionally and in line with due process.
