The Economic and Organised Crime Office has extended an invitation to the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedinam Tamakloe Attionu in connection with some investigations into her tenure.

She was supposed to appear before EOCO on Monday May 8, but a statement issued by her lawyer, Victor Adawudu said she was currently out of the country and cannot honour the invitation in person.
