The Attorney General has decided to withdraw its stay of execution before the Court of Appeal in the Sedina matter and has filed it in the Supreme Court.
The date for this hearing is October 13, 2026.
It will be recalled that the Attorney General, on Thursday, July 30, just hours after the Court of Appeal unanimously overturned Attionu’s conviction and 10-year prison sentence, acquitting and discharging her of all charges, filed an application before the Appeals Court.
Commenting on the development, Oliver Barker Vormawor, who is a private legal practitioner, said the woman must be given her freedom.
According to him, if the state wants a scapegoat, they should look at their incompetent staff who did a shoddy work during the trial.
He used the opportunity to urge Lawyers of Sedina Tamakloe to file a Habeas Corpus immediately.

I hear the AG’s have withdrawn their stay of execution before the court of appeal in the Sedina matter and filed it in the Supreme Court. As a result they have been given 13th October as a date for the hearing.
I am disappointed.
The Republic has no reason and basis to keep holding on to Sedina. Release the woman. If we need a scapegoat; the people who did the shoddy job are still at the AG’s department. Focus on them. The DPP must accept responsibility and resign for the absolutely terrible job done!
Her lawyers must file a Habeas Corpus immediately. Something I wish they had done earlier.
I see no reason why Sedina should become some cause célèbre because the Attorney-General is refusing to accept that his predecessor and team did a terrible prosecution.
Let her go. The way forward now is to recover our money for us. Use the civil processes.
Else, Democracy Hub (Ghfixthecountry) will definitely sue her and Obantaanpa for the GHs 500,000, the whereabouts of which we still don’t know.
Shalom
