More videos and photos of Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, on board a flight to the United States following his extradition have surfaced on social media.
In one of the photos, Abu Trica was captured in an aeroplane cabin watching a TV series aboard his flight to the United States.
Also in another video, Abu Trica was seen being escorted out of a plane after landing at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Abu Trica was spotted in handcuffs, being tightly monitored by some FBI agents.
Reports suggest Abu Trica was extradited to the United States to face charges related to an alleged $8 million romance scam case.
According to sources, Abu Trica was flown out of Ghana on Thursday, July 9, aboard Delta Airlines flight DL 157.
Ghanaian Journalist Kobby Kyei, in a post on X, wrote, “Abu Trica was this morning extradited to the United States at approximately 9:30 a.m”.
In another post, he wrote, “Abu Trica was captured at the airport while boarding a flight following his extradition”.
Abu Trica’s extradition follows a July 2 decision by the High Court in Accra ordering that he be surrendered to US authorities to face allegations of involvement in a romance fraud scheme.
In related news, Ghanaian media personality Captain Smart has said Abu Trica will be released and compensated even if he is extradited to the United States of America.
According to Captain Smart, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) does not possess evidence directly implicating Abu Trica, as they are working with documents submitted by Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Captain Smart further claimed that initially Abu Trica was accused of defrauding someone of $8 million, but alleged that the figure was later reduced to $15,000 before eventually being narrowed to five per cent of that amount.
Speaking on his show on Onua TV, Captain Smart stated, “I interviewed Abu Trica here, and those with low wisdom criticised me because of the interview; they want to extradite him. They started from $8 million, saying he had defrauded someone. From 8 million to 6 million, 6 to 4, 4 to 2, 2 to 1, 1million to 500,000, 500,000 to 50,000, 50,000 to $15,000, from 15,000 to 5 per cent of $15,000. They scaled it down to $15,000, then five per cent of $15,000”.
“If they extradite him to America, they will release him. They will also compensate him on top of it because the FBI said they have no incriminating information against him. I have the documents. They are acting based on the documents submitted to them by the EOCO of this country,” he stated.
