The Dambai Magistrate Court has remanded two men into prison custody for their alleged involvement in the murder of a 39-year-old woman, Rejoice Sena Akpaku, whose body was found in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
The accused persons, 36-year-old Isaac Sekyi and 45-year-old Reindolf Sekeni, also known as Okeley, were arraigned on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
According to a statement issued by the Oti Regional Police Command, the deceased travelled from Somanya in the Eastern Region to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, to recover an amount of GH¢19,000 owed to her by Isaac Sekyi, but she failed to return home.
Police investigations following Sekyi’s arrest on November 10, 2026, traced the victim’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone to his girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah. She told investigators that Sekyi gave her the device before she subsequently handed it over to his brother, Frank Sekyi.
Officers later retrieved the phone and discovered it had been flashed with the SIM card removed. A mobile phone technician, Mohammed Ali, was also arrested in connection with the case.
“On 11/11/2026, Isaac confessed to the murder and implicated Reindolf Sekeni as an accomplice,” the police statement noted. “He led Police to the location of the body, which was identified by the deceased’s sibling. A stick allegedly used in the attack was also recovered as an exhibit.”
While Sekyi and Sekeni were remanded to reappear before the court on December 2, 2026, the other three individuals arrested during the investigation have been granted police enquiry bail to assist with ongoing inquiries.
Deputy Superintendent of Police John Nchor, the Public Affairs Officer for the Oti Region, assured residents of a thorough investigation.
“The Ghana Police Service assures the public that the investigation will be conducted professionally and in accordance with due process,” DSP Nchor stated.
