Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, arrested for allegedly engaging in cyber fraud, has told the High Court that Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Cyber truck vehicles found at his Airport Residential were left in my care for sale by clients.
According to Abu Trica, the seized Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Cyber truck were faulty vehicles, and other seized items belonged to his friends, but officers failed to provide an inventory.
Abu Trica is quoted by JOYNEWS to have told the court, “Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Cyber truck vehicles found at my Airport Residential apartment were faulty vehicles left in my care for sale by clients”.
Abu Trica claimed the officers seized a staggering array of luxury items and electronics, including:
Vehicles: A Lamborghini, a Mercedes, and a Cybertruck.
Electronics: Numerous iPhones (ranging from models 7 to 15 Pro), MacBooks, an Alienware laptop, a PlayStation 5 console, and a Starlink Wi-Fi modem.
Personal Effects: Cartier watches, jewellery, and silver chains.
He further alleges that many of the seized items belonged to his friends and that the officers failed to provide an inventory or receipt for the confiscated property.
Abu Trica also accused the EOCO of violating his presumption of innocence by tagging him a ‘notorious cyber-criminal’ in a news release before any judicial determination of guilt.
Also, Abu Trica told the High Court he was interrogated by three FBI agents and forced to sign a document he could not read.
According to Abu Trica, while in the custody of Ghanaian authorities, he was subjected to a coercive interrogation by three foreign nationals introduced as FBI agents.
He added that the FBI threatened to link him to fraudulent transactions worth up to $8 million if he did not disclose his phone passwords.
In a court document, Abu Trica narrated his alleged harrowing experience in the hands of the Ghanaian authorities and the FBI agents.
The embattled Abu Trica claim his arrest and detention were marked by physical violence, coercive interrogations by foreign agents, and the looting of his personal property, adding that he was handcuffed, starved, and interrogated by foreign agents.
The court documents show lawyers of Abu Trica claim that over 15 armed officers stormed his apartment in the Airport Residential Area while he was playing video games with friends.
“Abu Trica claims he was immediately handcuffed and remained restrained from morning until late evening without access to food, water, or rest.
The most striking allegation involves the 3rd Respondent, the FBI.
Kumi asserts that while in the custody of Ghanaian authorities, he was subjected to a coercive interrogation by three foreign nationals introduced as FBI agents.
He claims these agents, who possess no independent police powers in Ghana, forced him to sign documents he could not read due to limited literacy and threatened to link him to fraudulent transactions worth up to $8 million if he did not disclose his phone passwords”, reports suggested.
“The decision and conduct of officers of the 2nd Respondent in permitting agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation… to interrogate the Applicant without access to Counsel, was unlawful and in violation of Articles 14 and 19 of the 1992 Constitution,” the motion states.
Abu Trica has since sued the Minister for Interior, the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the FBI, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), and the Attorney-General over what he describes as a coordinated campaign of “cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment” after he was arrested on December 11 2025.
“He is demanding justice and an end to foreign interference in addition to the GH₵10 million compensation.
Abu Trica is also praying the court for several critical orders:
Exclusion of Evidence: An order rendering any information or items obtained during the “coercive” interrogations and “unauthorised” searches inadmissible in any future proceedings.
Interlocutory Injunction: A restraining order to prevent the State from extraditing or deporting him to any foreign state pending the final determination of the suit.
Restraint of the FBI: A specific order restraining the FBI and its agents from exercising any investigative or interrogation powers over him within Ghanaian territory”.
