Akowuah joined Hearts of Oak from Medeama SC in November 2016 but endured an underwhelming stint with the Phobians.
Sowah and Alhassan were released from their respective contracts with the club wishing them the best of luck in their careers.
Sowah joined Hearts from bitter rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko in 2018. His departure leaves the Phobians with only Richmond Ayi and Ben Mensah as first team goalkeepers.
Auroras graduate Alhassan leaves the Phobians after failing to impress in a year with the first team.
