Manasseh Azure says key evidence in MASLOC case strengthened Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu’s defence

Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has suggested that evidence surrounding the alleged repayment of funds in the case against former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu ultimately strengthened her defence, contributing to the Court of Appeal's decision to acquit and discharge her.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, August 1, Mr Awuni analysed portions of the appellate court's judgment, particularly the evidence relating to the alleged return of funds by a beneficiary identified in court proceedings as Obaatanpa.

Instead, he noted, the evidence before the court suggested that the funds were allegedly handed over in cash during a meeting away from the institution's premises, creating uncertainty over whether the money ever reached MASLOC.
