Former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, reportedly spent several days receiving medical care at the Police Hospital in Accra before being transferred to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison to begin serving her 10-year sentence.
According to a report by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni on pacgh.org, unnamed sources said she was initially handed over to the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) upon her arrival at the Accra International Airport following her extradition from the United States on June 9, 2026.
She was later transferred to the Ghana Prisons Service and admitted to the Police Hospital due to a medical condition reportedly communicated by U.S. authorities to Ghanaian officials prior to her repatriation.
The sources indicated that she received treatment at the facility for several days before being declared fit to commence her custodial sentence. She was subsequently provided medication and transferred to Nsawam Prison.
Her whereabouts had recently become a subject of public debate, with questions raised over when she officially began serving her sentence. The Minority in Parliament has suggested that she only entered prison custody on June 24, 2026.
The sources further stated that she is currently being held in the female wing of the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, with access reportedly restricted to a limited number of family members.
They also clarified that throughout the process, she remained in official custody and was not taken to any private medical facility.
Tamakloe-Attionu was extradited from the United States after being convicted and sentenced in absentia in 2024 for offences including causing financial loss to the state and stealing during her tenure at MASLOC.
She had previously travelled to the United States in 2021 with court approval for medical treatment while her trial was ongoing but failed to return to Ghana.
An Accra High Court is expected to rule on 30 July 2026 on an appeal challenging her trial and sentencing in absentia.
