Sedina Tamakloe Attionu is serving jail Term- Interior Minister confirms

Ghana's Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), is currently imprisoned and serving her jail term. Muntaka refuted public speculation that Attionu was being held in a private facility, asserting that she has been in state custody since her return to Ghana.

"From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time," the minister stated in an interview with Joy News. He explained that the specific prison locations for inmates, particularly high-profile individuals, are often kept confidential for security reasons. This practice, he noted, is also observed in some developed countries.

Minister Muntaka elaborated that even judges who sentence offenders do not always know the exact prison where they will be held. He added that individuals wishing to visit Attionu would need to write to the Prisons Service, which would then consult her about the visit.

His comments come in response to widespread public speculation regarding Attionu's whereabouts following reports of her return to Ghana to commence her prison sentence. The minister emphasized that disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could potentially put their lives at risk.

The confirmation addresses concerns and rumors surrounding the former MASLOC boss's incarceration, assuring the public that she is indeed serving her sentence within the state's correctional facilities, albeit in a location not publicly disclosed for security purposes.
