On the 30th day of July, 2026, the Court of Appeal constituted by Justices, Emmanuel Ankamah (Presiding), Samuel Obeng-Diawuo and Emmanuel Senyo Amedahe JJA set aside the conviction of the 1st accused person, Mad. Sedina Tamakloe in the 2024 case of THE REPUBLIC v. SEDINA TAMAKLOE ATTIONU & ANOR [TLP-HC-2024-04] thereby reversing the decision of their sister, Justice Afia Serwaa Asare-Botwe, JA delivered on the 16th day of April, 2024.

The Court returned back to Mad. Tamakloe her liberty in a unanimous decision in a 94 page judgment which the Court said is ready and shall be available today upon application at the Court's Registry. This decision of the Court in the case comes after the extradition of Mad. Tamakloe from the US on the 8th day of June, 2026. She jumped her bail and refused to return back to the jurisdiction upon the grant of leave to travel to the US on medical grounds.

Thus, she only served less than two months of her her ten year sentence in jail. The A-G by a 2-page statement (a copy of which is below) has indicated the intention of the State to appeal the decision of the High Court.
