The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has announced that the extradition process against former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is done.
Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, addressing the country during the Government Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, stated, “I did indicate to Parliament that in July 2025, a formal request for her extradition was put in by my predecessors, in other words, by my office. The American authorities have worked on her extradition. The extradition proceedings have taken place in the US, and we’re expecting that barring any appeal by her lawyers, she may be very soon extradited to Ghana to serve her prison term”.
“I don’t have any definitive information on when she will be extradited, but the Americans have indicated that they’ve completed the process,” he said.
Earlier, the Attorney General had revealed that the Ghanaian government had formally applied to American authorities for the extradition of former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu.
According to the Attorney General, the government of Ghana wants Sedina Tamakloe to serve her 10-year jail term in Ghana.
Sedina Tamakloe Attionu has been 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.
Meanwhile, Prophet Kofi Oduro, the founder of the Alabaster International Ministry, has called out authorities on when Ghana’s criminals are coming home to serve jail terms.
The man of God particularly pointed fingers towards the former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, who has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by the High Court.
According to Prophet Oduro, it is an indictment of the sovereignty of Ghana that Americans can see criminals operating in our system but we can’t.
Speaking to his congregants, Prophet Kofi Oduro stated, “America has a system of bringing criminals to book; they can put people on a plane, go to another country, and arrest people who have perpetrated stuff against the American people. We are here, we cannot bring criminals to the law court, has the woman which the court sentenced to Nsawam, who is still abroad, how far?
EOCO, you have done a good job. You were part of this cybercrime arrest that went on. When are Ghana’s criminals coming home? To go and serve jail terms at Nsawam.
Isn’t it an indictment of the sovereignty of this Nation that other nationals can come here and see criminals operating in our system, and our people can’t see it? This boy took almost $8 million from a romance scam”.
