Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, a former Deputy Attorney-General, has said former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, must be taken into prison custody immediately she arrives at the airport.
According to him, there is an arrest warrant for Sedina Tamakloe, and she ought to be arrested by the security agencies.
Alfred Tuah-Yeboah is quoted by Joy News to have said, “The moment she [Sedina Tamakloe] gets to the airport, there is a warrant, so she ought to be arrested by the security agencies, and taken into prison custody right away, no two ways about that”.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States of America, Victor Smith, has announced that 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.
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.
