Attorney General to challenge Sedina Tamakloe acquittal at Supreme Court; files for stay of execution
[]
News – MyJoyOnline
The Attorney General has directed the Director of Public Prosecutions to immediately file an appeal to the Supreme Court challenging the Court of Appeal's decision acquitting and discharging former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe Attionu.
"The Attorney-General remains committed to the due process of law and is confident that the appeal before the Supreme Court will succeed."
The Court of Appeal, in a unanimous decision earlier today, acquitted and discharged Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, who had been convicted in absentia by the High Court on April 16, 2024, and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour.
Daniel Axim, Tamakloe's co-accused who was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, remains out on bail granted by the Supreme Court in January 2026 pending his own appeal.
Following the Court of Appeal's decision to acquit and discharge Tamakloe, and now the state's decision to appeal that ruling, the status of Axim's appeal and the broader implications for the case remain uncertain.
