Sunday, November 15, 2026 - Police in Ghana have arrested a man who allegedly murdered a 39-year-old woman he owes money, stole her phone and gave it to his girlfriend.
The suspect, Isaac Sekyi, 36, and his accomplice, Reindolf
Sekeni, alias Okeley, 45, were remanded in prison custody by the Dambai
Magistrate Court over the alleged murder of Rejoice Sena Akpaku, whose body was
found in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region.
According to a statement issued by the Ghana Police Service
on November 12, 2026, preliminary investigations established that the deceased
travelled from Somanya to Dormabin in the Oti Region on October 28, 2026, to
recover GH¢19,000 allegedly owed her by Sekyi.
She reportedly failed to return home after the trip,
prompting investigations into her disappearance.
The police said Sekyi was arrested on November 10, 2026,
after investigators established a link between him and the deceased's missing
Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone.
The phone was traced to Sekyi's girlfriend, Seraphine Aku
Koumah, who reportedly told investigators that he had given her the device.
She subsequently handed the phone to Sekyi's brother, Frank
Sekyi, from whom the police retrieved it.
The statement said investigators discovered that the phone
had been flashed and its SIM card removed.
A mobile phone technician, identified as Mohammed Ali, was
also arrested in connection with the investigation.
The police further disclosed that Sekyi confessed to the
murder on November 11, 2026, and implicated Sekeni as an alleged accomplice.
He subsequently led investigators to the location where the
body was found.
The deceased was later identified by her sibling, while a
stick believed to have been used in the attack was recovered as an exhibit.
The two suspects have been remanded into prison custody,
while three other persons arrested in connection with the case have been
granted police enquiry bail to assist with further investigations.
