After over two years of court proceedings, the United States authorities notified the Government of her surrender in January this year. She arrived in Accra on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Officials of the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Prisons Service have taken her into custody and are making the necessary preparations for her to begin her sentence.

“1. Appropriating GH¢500,000 of MASLOC funds for personal use after it was returned from a private microfinance company, Obaatanpa Micro-Finance Company Limited.

3. Out of the GH¢1,816,000 for the sensitisation programme, only GH¢1,300 was spent on refreshments for some beneficiaries in the Volta, Greater Accra, and Brong-Ahafo Regions, with no programme taking place in the other regions.
4. Appropriating only GH¢579,800 out of the sum of GH¢1,465,035 meant for the victims of the Kantamanto Market fire disaster in 2013.
5. Procuring 150 Chevy Aveo saloons at a unit cost of GH¢74,495 ($18,883.39) instead of GH¢47,346.93 ($12,009.91), 100 Chevy Sparklite at a unit cost of GH¢65,095.00 ($16,500.63) instead of GH¢35,918.37 ($9,104.77) and 33-seater Isuzu buses at a unit cost of GH¢445,560 ($112,942.96) in 2013 without PPA approval.
6. Procuring 200 pieces of Samsung B310 mobile dual-SIM phones under a project called PINCO Project Market Survey at an inflated cost of GH¢93,412 when the market value of the phones was GH¢24,400, in 2016.

He further disclosed that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu has become the first person in the 4th Republic to be sentenced in absentia and extradited to face that sentence.
In a post on Facebook, Oliver Barker-Vormawor wrote, “Sedina becomes the first person in the 4th Republic who was sentenced in absentia and extradited to face that sentence.
I suspect she will retain lawyers to try to challenge her conviction. She has that right as a Ghanaian. She shouldn’t have run away in the first place.
But now that she is back in Ghana, will Yaanom shift the goalpost again?
We should all be ORALISTS! Unless you are a witch”.
Reports coming in suggest the former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, has arrived in Ghana today, June 9, 2026, to serve his 10-year prison sentence.
