An award-winning Ghanaian journalist and anti-corruption campaigner, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has revealed that the former CEO of MASLOC, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, is currently serving her prison sentence at the Nsawam Prison.
Manasseh Azure disclosed that Sedina Tamakloe spent several days receiving medical treatment at the Police Hospital in Accra and was later taken to the Nsawam Prison.
In a news article published on Pledge Against Corruption (PAC), Manasseh Azure Awuni wrote, “The incarcerated former chief executive of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, spent some days at the Police Hospital in Accra before being taken to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison to begin her prison sentence, sources familiar with her case have confirmed to pacgh.org.
According to sources who want to remain anonymous, she was first handed over to the BNI upon her arrival at the Accra International Airport, which later handed her over to the Ghana Prisons Service.
She reportedly arrived with a medical condition, which the U.S. authorities communicated to their Ghanaian counterparts before handing her over.
The sources say she was taken to the police hospital, where she was admitted and treated for days. (We are unable to confirm how many days she spent at the Police Hospital.)
The Police Hospital later certified her fit to begin her sentence. She was then given medication and taken to Nsawam to begin her 10-year sentence.
Sedina Tamakloe Attionu’s whereabouts have become a matter of public controversy. Many have openly questioned whether she was actually in prison, and pressure has mounted on the government to account for her.
Our sources reveal that she is in the female section of Nsawam Medium Security Prison. External access to her is tightly controlled, with only a handful of family members permitted to visit.
Prior to being taken to Nsawam to begin her sentence, our sources said she was at all times in the hands of the prison authorities and was not allowed to visit any private facility”.
Meanwhile, Muntaka Mubarak, the Interior Minister, has refuted allegations suggesting that former MASLOC Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, is enjoying any form of special treatment while serving her sentence.
According to the Interior Minister, Ghanaians should trust the NDC government, stressing that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu is serving his term and not in any private residence.
He further argued that the state is not obliged to publicly reveal the exact prison location of high-profile convicts.
Speaking in an interview on JOY NEWS, the Interior Minister stated, “From the day she came, she has been with us, and she’s with us, and she’s serving her term”.
“Maybe in Ghana, we take telling people where somebody is serving lightly, because in America and other countries, telling people that this kind of high-profile person is here can even lead to the death of that person. So it’s for safety,” he explained.
He added, “Trust us, she’s serving her term. She’s not in any private residence. She is with us.”
“Was she not sentenced? She was. If she were sentenced, where would she be? You must be in prison custody,” he said.
The Interior Minister further disclosed that individuals who wish to confirm her whereabouts or arrange visits can do so through the formal procedures of the Ghana Prisons Service.
