The former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, spent several days at the Police Hospital in Accra before being transferred to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison to begin serving her 10-year prison sentence, according to a story by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni story on pacgh.org.

Unnamed sources, who reportedly requested anonymity, said Ms Tamakloe-Attionu was first handed over to the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) upon her arrival at the Accra International Airport before being transferred to the Ghana Prisons Service (GPS).

They said she arrived in Ghana with a medical condition, which United States authorities communicated to their Ghanaian counterparts before handing her over.

She was subsequently admitted to the Police Hospital, where she received treatment for several days. 

The sources said the Police Hospital later certified her fit to begin serving her sentence. She was then given medication and transferred to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.

Ms Tamakloe-Attionu's whereabouts have been the subject of public debate in recent weeks, with some questioning whether she was in prison and calling on the government to account for her.

According to the Minority in Parliament, she only began to serve her sentence on June 24, 2026, per their findings.

According to the sources, she is currently being held in the female section of the Nsawam Medium Security Prison. Access to her is said to be tightly controlled, with only a limited number of family members permitted to visit.

The sources further said that before her transfer to Nsawam, Ms Tamakloe-Attionu remained in the custody of the Ghana Prisons Service at all times and was not allowed to seek treatment at any private medical facility.

Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu arrived in Ghana on 9 June 9 2026 following her extradition from the United States to serve a 10-year prison sentence.

She was convicted and sentenced in absentia after failing to return to Ghana from the United States, where she had travelled in 2021 with the permission of the High Court to seek medical treatment while her trial was ongoing.

In 2024, an Accra High Court found her guilty of multiple offences, including causing financial loss to the state and stealing.

The conviction followed a prolonged legal battle over allegations of misappropriation and diversion of state resources during her tenure as Chief Executive Officer of the government-funded microfinance institution.

Meanwhile, an Accra High Court is scheduled to rule on 30 July 2026 on an appeal filed by her legal team challenging the propriety of her trial and sentencing in absentia.
