Former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, has been extradited from the United States to Ghana to begin serving her 10-year prison sentence imposed by the Accra High Court.
According to the US Embassy in Ghana, the former government appointee arrived in Ghana on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
In a Facebook post, the Embassy announced the successful extraction and indicated that “Justice has no borders.”
“The United States has extradited Sedina Tamakloe Attionu to Ghana, following her conviction on 70+ corruption-related charges, including embezzling more than $6M equivalent in Ghanaian taxpayer funds.”
According to the Embassy, the extradition is part of the U.S.-Ghana law enforcement partnership to demonstrate a shared commitment to accountability.
Sedina Tamakloe’s return follows a protracted extradition process initiated by the Government of Ghana after she failed to return to the country following a medical trip to the United States.
Her extradition from the United States to Ghana becomes the first since 2009.
