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.
The information gathered suggests that the flight tracking data from FlightAware confirmed that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu arrived at Terminal 3 of the Accra International Airport on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, aboard United Airlines flight UA 996.
Her flight landed at about 9:01 a.m. after departing Washington Dulles International Airport in the United States at 11:44 GMT.
Reports suggest Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu was taken into custody by security officials and immediately taken into custody.
Also, reports suggest Sedina Tamakloe is said to be undergoing routine questioning and medical checks, which form part of standard procedures before she is transferred to begin serving her sentence.
It will be recalled that Sedina Tamakloe Attionu was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a High Court in Accra.
The former MASLOC CEO was sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labour for causing financial loss of GH¢90 million to the state in April 2024.
In 2019, the case began; however, during the course of the trial, Sedina Tamakloe travelled to the United States to seek medical attention.
Sedina Tamakloe was tried in absentia after failing to return to Ghana.
A former Chief Operating Officer of MASLOC, Daniel Axim, was also sentenced to five years in prison with hard labour.
Sedina Tamakloe and Daniel Axim were found guilty on 78 counts of causing financial loss to the state, stealing, conspiracy to steal, money laundering, and causing loss to public property in violation of public procurement law.
According to the Attorney General, the government of Ghana wants Sedina Tamakloe to serve her 10-year jail term in Ghana.
The development follows a U.S. Magistrate Judge, Daniel J. Albregts of the District of Nevada, ordering that the former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, serve her 10-year prison sentence in Ghana.
According to reports, the US court ruled that sufficient evidence exists to support the extradition.
In a post shared by Ghana Chronicles on Sunday, April 12, 2026, read, “A U.S. Magistrate Judge, Daniel J. Albregts of the District of Nevada, has ordered the extradition of former MASLOC CEO Sedina Christine Tamakloe to Ghana to serve her 10-year sentence.
The court ruled that sufficient evidence exists, citing multiple charges including stealing, conspiracy, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
She has been remanded in U.S. custody pending final approval of her extradition”.
Earlier, Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States of America, Victor Smith, had announced that former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu will face a US Court on January 21 over possible extradition to Ghana.
According to Victor Smith, Sedina Tamakloe’s court appearance is a critical step in the extradition process.
Speaking in an interview with Citi Eyewitness News on Friday, January 16, Victor Smith stated, “In this particular case in America, she was arrested by the US Marshals. For now, they are not allowing us to visit, but she has to go to court. My information is that there was an extradition request by the Ghana government back in 2024 from the Attorney General’s Department.
“Once they were ready to effect the request, they went for her. She is being kept until she sees the judge on the 21st of this month, and the judge will decide. If she has good reasons why she must not be extradited, her legal representation will make that submission to the judge,” he explained.
Earlier, Victor Smith revealed Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu was arrested by the US Marshals and is being detained at the Nevada Southern Detention Centre in the USA.
In a statement issued on January 15, 2026, and signed by the ambassador, read, “I can today confirm that Mrs Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu is being detained at the Nevada Southern Detention Centre.
“2190 East Mesquite Avenue.
“Pahrump, NEVADA.
“My information is that she was detained by US Marshals on January 6th and has since been kept at that detention centre”.
“I am reliably informed that acting on an extradition request sent to the US Authorities sometime in July 2024, US Marshals arrested Mrs Tamakloe-Attionu and placed her in detention to await her day in court,” part of the statement read.
