Government Denies Claims That Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu Is Under House Arrest

The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has rejected claims that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu is under house arrest.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Kwakye Ofosu said she remains in the custody of the Ghana Prison Service.

He explained that the Prison Service is responsible for managing the welfare and security of all inmates.

“She is in the custody of the Ghana Prison Service. They know how to handle people. If somebody needs help there, they know how to take care of her,” he said.

“I can assure you, and let me put it on record, she is not in any house. She is not under any house arrest,” he added.

The minister also challenged claims that a government official informed IMANI Africa President Franklin Cudjoe that Sedina was under house arrest.

“If Franklin Cudjoe tells you that [Sedina is under house arrest], he is not telling you the truth. Let him name the so-called top government official who told him that,” he said.

Kwakye Ofosu further stated that details about an inmate’s health condition are not matters for the government to disclose, adding that such issues are handled by the Prison Service.

“I don’t have information on her medical condition. It is not my place to discuss it,” he said.

He maintained that Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu remains in lawful custody under the Ghana Prison Service.
