Former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, has been released from custody after the Attorney-General withdrew an application seeking to stay the execution of the Court of Appeal’s judgment acquitting and discharging her.
The Court of Appeal on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, struck out the Attorney-General’s application after it was withdrawn, clearing the way for Tamakloe-Attionu’s release.
Her release comes nearly two weeks after the appellate court overturned her conviction and acquitted and discharged her in a case involving 78 counts.
Tamakloe-Attionu, who served as MASLOC CEO from November 2013 to January 2017, was prosecuted over several charges, including conspiracy to steal, stealing, causing financial loss to the State, money laundering, improper payment of public funds and breaches of the Public Procurement Act.
The latest court decision brings an end to her continued detention following the Court of Appeal’s earlier ruling in her favour.
According to a report by MyJoyOnline, the Attorney-General’s withdrawal of the application means there is no longer a pending application seeking to prevent the execution of the acquittal and discharge order.
