Two persons have been remanded into prison custody by the Dambai Magistrate Court for their alleged involvement in the murder of a 39-year-old woman, Rejoice Sena Akpaku, whose body was discovered in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
The suspects, identified as 36-year-old Isaac Sekyi and 45-year-old Reindolf Sekeni, alias Okeley, were arraigned on Thursday, November 12, 2026, and are expected to reappear in court on December 2, 2026.
According to the Ghana Police Service, the deceased travelled from Somanya in the Eastern Region to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, to recover GH¢19,000 allegedly owed to her by Sekyi.
However, she failed to return after the trip, prompting investigations into her disappearance.
Police said Sekyi was arrested on November 10, 2026, following which investigations traced the deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone to his girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah.
Koumah reportedly told investigators that Sekyi had given her the phone before she handed it over to his brother, Frank Sekyi.
The device was subsequently retrieved and found to have been flashed, with its SIM card removed.
A mobile phone technician, Mohammed Ali, was also arrested in connection with the incident.
The Police said that on November 11, Sekyi confessed to the murder and implicated Sekeni as an accomplice.
He subsequently led investigators to the location where the body had been abandoned. The deceased was identified by one of her siblings.
A stick allegedly used in the attack was also recovered by the Police as an exhibit.
While Sekyi and Sekeni have been remanded into prison custody, the other three persons arrested in connection with the investigation have been granted Police enquiry bail to assist with further investigations.
The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that investigations will be conducted professionally and in accordance with due process.
