Sedina Tamakloe remains in prison despite acquittal - Felix Kwakye Ofosu
Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu remains in prison custody despite the Court of Appeal's decision to acquit and discharge her. Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, stated in an interview, "I can tell you Sedina has not been released; she's still in custody." He also dismissed claims that she was released or never held in lawful custody after returning to Ghana, saying, "The day that Sedina landed in Ghana till the Court of Appeal made its pronouncements, she has always been in prison custody."
Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie granted permission for the Court of Appeal to sit during the legal vacation to hear the Attorney-General's application for a stay of execution of the judgment. This application is scheduled to be heard on August 16. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) announced plans to stage a protest on Thursday, August 6, arguing that the Court of Appeal's decision was erroneous. Ms Tamakloe-Attionu had received a 10-year prison sentence from the High Court.
