Defective charge sheet secured my client’s freedom – Sedina Tamakloe’s lawyer explains appeal victory

Speaking moments after the ruling, Deegbe disclosed that the appellate court based its decision primarily on one key argument: that the charge sheet used to prosecute his client was fundamentally defective.

The lawyer for acquitted former MASLOC CEO Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, Enoch Deegbe, has revealed that his client remains in prison custody and is yet to be informed of the Court of Appeal's decision to overturn her conviction and sentence.

His comments come after private legal practitioner Justice Abdullai suggested that Tamakloe could be entitled to compensation following her acquittal, noting that "once you win not only on a technical basis but on the merit of the case, you are entitled to compensation if you do apply for same at the Court of Appeal or Supreme Court.
