Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah

Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has announced that his office is actively pursuing the extradition of Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), following her sentencing to 10 years in prison with hard labor for causing financial loss to the state.

Alongside Tamakloe-Attionu, Daniel Axim, former Chief Operating Officer of MASLOC, has also been sentenced to five years in prison with hard labor.

The convictions stem from 78 counts related to causing financial loss to the state, theft, conspiracy to steal, money laundering, and contravening public procurement laws.

In a statement to the media following Tamakloe-Attionu's conviction, Deputy AG Tuah-Yeboah highlighted that the extradition process had commenced even before the court's sentencing.

Tuah-Yeboah emphasized the commitment of Ghana's legal system to uphold justice, stating, "What is refreshing is that she will be brought down to face justice. In Ghana, we have various laws, you can choose to stay away but so far as we have laws relating to how we can extradite you from one country to Ghana, be rest assured that she will be brought down to face justice."

He expressed satisfaction with the sentence and reassured the public of the imminent return of Tamakloe-Attionu to Ghana, affirming the Attorney General's office's determination to ensure accountability and uphold the rule of law.
