Sedina Christine Tamakloe-Attionu, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), has been released from custody. The former MASLOC CEO was acquitted and discharged by the Court of Appeal on August 12, 2026, following the Attorney-General's withdrawal of an application to halt the execution of the Court's judgment.
Mrs. Tamakloe-Attionu, who served as CEO of MASLOC from November 2013 to January 2017, faced 78 charges including conspiracy to steal and financial losses to the State. She was convicted in April 2024 and sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia. Mrs. Tamakloe-Attionu returned to Ghana in June 2026 after her extradition from the United States.
Her lawyers had challenged the conviction at the Court of Appeal, which resulted in her acquittal and discharge. The Attorney-General has stated that the State plans to challenge the Court of Appeal's decision at the Supreme Court, but the withdrawal of the stay application allows the acquittal and discharge to take effect.
