Manasseh Azure Awuni, an award-winning investigative journalist, has prayed to God following the extradition of former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, to Ghana.
The investigative journalist, in his prayers, asked God not to let Sedina Tamakloe Attionu fall sick and be admitted to the hospital.
He argued that Ghana needs the former MASLOC CEO to be healthy.
In a post on X, Manasseh Azure Awuni wrote, “God, please, don’t let Sedina fall sick and be admitted to the hospital. We need her healthy”.
The investigative journalist also prayed to God to give the Judge whom will rule on the former MASLOC case wisdom not to grant her bail as she has a history of fleeing the country.
Manasseh, in another post, added, “God, please, give that judge wisdom to rule that someone with a history of running away should not be granted bail if they apply”.
His comments follow, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, who arrived in Ghana on 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.
Meanwhile, Titus Glover, the former Greater Accra Regional Minister, has said the former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, will be given a presidential pardon.
The former Greater Accra Regional Minister asserted that he has doubts Sedina Tamakloe will serve her full 10-year prison sentence as she is affiliated with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Titus Glover, Sedina Tamakloe could benefit from a presidential pardon or other interventions that may reduce her 10-year prison sentence.
He further warned that allowing convicted public officials to avoid serving the full sentence could undermine public confidence in Ghana’s fight against corruption and accountability.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Titus Glover stated, “The case is that I am sure they will give her a presidential pardon. She has to serve for some time, but knowing the NDC and their style and the way they do their stuff, I will not be surprised if in the next six months or so they call it off”.
“I do not think she will serve the full term,” he added.
“If Sedina comes out in less than two years, the backlash against the NDC will not be worth it. They have to advise her to stay there. It is for the betterment of society. She has the right to appeal and come out, but generally, anything less than three years will look very bad on us as a society,” he stated.
