Two men have been remanded into prison custody by the Dambai Magistrate Court for their alleged involvement in the murder of a 39-year-old woman, identified as Rejoice Sena Akpaku, whose body was discovered in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
The suspects have been identified as Isaac Sekyi, 36, and Reindolf Sekeni, also known as Okeley, 45. They were arrested following police investigations into the disappearance and suspected murder of the deceased.
According to a statement released by the Ghana Police Service on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Akpaku travelled from Somanya in the Eastern Region to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, to collect GH¢19,000 allegedly owed to her by Sekyi.
However, she reportedly failed to return home after making the trip, prompting investigations into her whereabouts.
Police Investigations Lead to Arrest of Two Murder Suspects
Police investigations subsequently led to the arrest of Isaac Sekyi on November 10, 2026.
During the investigation, detectives traced the deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone to Sekyi’s girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah.
She reportedly told investigators that Sekyi had given her the phone before she transferred it to his brother, Frank Sekyi.
The police later retrieved the device and discovered that it had been flashed, while its SIM card had also been removed.
A mobile phone technician, identified as Mohammed Ali, was also arrested to assist with investigations into the case.
The Ghana Police Service disclosed that Sekyi confessed to the murder on November 11 and allegedly mentioned Reindolf Sekeni as an accomplice.
He subsequently led investigators to the location where the victim’s body had been abandoned.
Murder Weapon Recovered as Family Identifies Victim
Following the discovery, the deceased’s body was identified by one of her siblings.
Police investigators also recovered a stick suspected to have been used in the attack. The item has been retained as an exhibit to support investigations and possible prosecution.
The recovery of the victim’s mobile phone and the suspected murder weapon forms part of the evidence being examined by investigators.
Dambai Court Remands Suspects Until December 2
The two accused persons appeared before the Dambai Magistrate Court on November 12, 2026, where they were remanded into prison custody.
They are expected to reappear in court on December 2, 2026, as investigations and legal proceedings continue.
