On 6 January 2014, Akpoveta had his contract with Brøndby cancelled by mutual consent.
In January 2014 Akpoveta moved to Ravan Baku in the Azerbaijan Premier League, signing an 18-month contract. In April 2014, Akpoveta was given permission to return to Denmark for a couple of days, but then failed to return to the club, and left the club permanently at the end of the season.
On 16 July 2014 Akpoveta returned to Denmark signing an 18-month contract with Danish First Division side Brønshøj. On 30 June 2015, Akpoveta signed a 12-month contract with Danish First Division side Lyngby.
In the January transfer window Akpoveta was loaned out to Swedish Superettan club IK Frej for the remainder of the 2015–16 season. He impressed, scoring 12 goals in 13 games. As a result, on 13 July 2016, fellow Superettan club Dalkurd revealed that the club had signed Akpoveta on a free transfer after a few weeks speculation. After a trial with the Superettan rival club Helsingborgs IF where he made an assist in a friendly against Odense, Akpoveta signed for Helsingborgs IF on 17 February 2017 for an unknown fee.
On 16 February 2019, Akpoveta signed a six-month contract with Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabail FK.
On 31 July 2019, Akpoveta returned to IK Frej, where he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract. Six months later, in January 2020, Akpoveta signed a two-year contract with Norrby IF. Akpoveta then had short stints with Saudi club Al-Thoqbah, Finnish club KPV, and Swedish club Höganäs before joining Maltese club Valletta on 25 July 2022. His contract with Valletta was terminated by mutual consent on 29 December 2022, making him a free agent.
On 28 July 2023, Akpoveta signed a contract with Finnish side KPV for the rest of the season. He scored in his debut match.
