Isaac Sekyi and Reindolf Sekeni remanded over murder of Rejoice Sena Akpaku

The Dambai Magistrate Court has remanded 36-year-old Isaac Sekyi and 45-year-old Reindolf Sekeni into prison custody for the alleged murder of Rejoice Sena Akpaku. The 39-year-old victim's body was discovered near Adumadum in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region after she had been reported missing. During the court proceedings on November 12, 2026, the magistrate ordered the suspects to remain in custody to facilitate further police inquiries into the killing.

Investigations into the incident revealed that Akpaku disappeared after traveling to Dormabin to retrieve a debt of GH₵19,000 owed to her by Sekyi. When she failed to return home, police launched a search that eventually led them to Sekyi’s girlfriend, who was found in possession of the victim's mobile phone. Following his arrest, Sekyi reportedly confessed to the murder and implicated Sekeni as his accomplice, leading to their joint appearance in court.

While the two primary suspects have been remanded, three other individuals who were arrested during the initial stages of the investigation have been granted bail to assist with ongoing inquiries. The Ghana Police Service has stated its commitment to conducting a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Akpaku's death. Sekyi and Sekeni are scheduled to reappear before the Dambai Magistrate Court on December 2, 2026, as the prosecution builds its case.
