The Court of Appeal has adjourned indefinitely without delivering a ruling on the State’s application for a stay of execution in the case involving former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu.
A three-member panel made up of Justice Sophia Rosetta Bernasko-Essah, who presided, Justice Dr Ernest Owusu-Dapaa and Justice Ayitey Armah-Tetteh heard arguments from both the prosecution and the defence before retiring to consider the application.
After about two hours of deliberations, the judges returned to the courtroom and informed the parties that they had not reached a decision on the matter.
The court subsequently adjourned the case indefinitely without announcing a date for its ruling.
The State is seeking a stay of execution pending the determination of its substantive appeal in the high-profile corruption case involving the former MASLOC Chief Executive Officer.
The application forms part of the ongoing appellate process following recent developments in the case, which has drawn significant public interest.
Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu was convicted in absentia by the Accra High Court in April 2024 and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment after being found guilty on multiple corruption-related charges, including causing financial loss to the state, stealing and money laundering.
She was extradited from the United States to Ghana in June this year to begin serving her sentence after a prolonged legal process.
