"mengaku" is used in the sentence that means she/he admitted/acknowledge the thing that she/he did before and "mengakui" is also the same, but you can also use it in the sentence that means you agree with someone's thought. It's kinda like that, for example:
"mengaku" --> Saya mengaku bahwa saya telah menghilangkan bukumu.
"mengakui" --> Saya mengakui kehebatannya.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Indonesian
- Javanese
mengaku = confess (it's more about "lie" and "truth")
mengakui = confess, admit (it's more about "regret" or "admire")
There is another meaning but it will be a very long explanation if you don't include a topic or specific conversation.

Of course... 😁
Dia mengakui kesalahannya.
He admit his fault.
Mengakui is often used in something like "a sin", "a fault", "a mistake", etc. When someone do a bad thing then he admit his fault.

not really, (at least in this case) I will say it's weird to use "mengaku" in that sentence. Sometimes you found mengaku in sentence without a object. You can found an adverb, adjective, or maybe another verb after it. (I rarely found a case that a noun is used after mengaku)
