US Court backs extradiction of former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu's to Ghana
Sedina Christine Tamakloe-Attionu had her extradition approved by a United States District Court in Nevada. The court ruled that it has jurisdiction over both the extradition proceedings and the accused person, and affirmed that the extradition treaty between the United States and Ghana remains valid and enforceable. The court also determined that there is sufficient probable cause to believe that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu committed the offences for which Ghana is seeking her extradition.
The court certified her extradition and ordered that she be placed in the custody of the United States Marshals Service. Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu was previously convicted in Ghana in April 2024 and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour on multiple charges, including causing financial loss to the state, stealing, conspiracy, money laundering, and procurement breaches. Court records indicate that she absconded during the trial after being granted permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.
She is to be held in the custody of the United States Marshals Service, pending a final decision by the U.S. Secretary of State on her surrender to Ghana.
