Akpaku's body was found in a bush near Adumadum in the Oti Region. She had traveled to Dormabin on October 28, 2026, seeking repayment of GH¢19,000 allegedly owed to her by Sekyi. After her disappearance, Sekyi was arrested on November 10, 2026. His girlfriend, Seraphine Aku Koumah, told investigators that Sekyi had given her the Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone, which was later found to be flashed and without a SIM card. A mobile phone technician, Mohammed Ali, was also arrested. On November 11, Sekyi confessed to the murder and pointed out Sekeni as an accomplice. Police recovered a stick believed to have been used in the attack. While Sekyi and Sekeni remain in custody, the other three suspects have been granted bail. The Ghana Police Service assured the public that the investigation will proceed professionally and according to due process.",
