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 who travelled to recover a GH¢19,000 debt owed her.
The suspects, identified as Isaac Sekyi, 36, and Reindolf Sekeni, alias Okeley, 45, are expected to reappear before the court on December 2, 2026.
The deceased, Rejoice Sena Akpaku, according to the police travelled from Somanya in the Eastern Region to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, to collect the money owed her by Isaac Sekyi but failed to return.
Her body was later discovered in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
According to a statement issued by the Ghana Police Service on November 12, investigations following Sekyi’s arrest on November 10 led to the recovery of the deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone.
The phone was traced to his girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah, who told police that Sekyi had given her the device before she handed it over to his brother, Frank Sekyi.
The phone 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 Sekyi confessed to the murder on November 11 and implicated Reindolf Sekeni as an accomplice. He subsequently led investigators to the location of the body, which was identified by the deceased’s sibling.
A stick allegedly used in the attack was also retrieved as an exhibit, the police statement added.
The two suspects were arraigned on November 12 and remanded to reappear on December 2, while three other persons have been granted police enquiry bail to assist investigations.
The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that investigations will be conducted professionally and in accordance with due process.
