Sedina Tamakloe Attionu extradited from US to Ghana after 70+ corruption convictions, first extradition in 16 years.
The United States has extradited former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, to Ghana following her conviction on more than 70 corruption-related charges involving the embezzlement of over six million dollars in public funds. The American Embassy in Accra announced the extradition on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The extradition is the first from the United States to Ghana since 2009, ending a 16-year gap in such transfers between the two countries. Ms Tamakloe Attionu served as Chief Executive Officer of MASLOC from 2013 to 2016. She left Ghana in 2019 after obtaining permission from the court to travel abroad for a medical check-up but did not return to continue with her trial.
