Oliver Barker-Vormawor, private legal practitioner and lawyer for Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, has revealed that his client has been rushed to the Police Hospital.
Barker-Vormawor disclosed that it has been over a week since lawyers have been allowed to meet with Abu Trica despite constant requests.
In a post on Facebook, Oliver Barker-Vormawor shared an update on July 8, 2026, stating, “I have just found out from sources at the Police Hospital that Abu Trica has been rushed to the hospital.
It has been over a week; we haven’t been allowed access to Abu Trica as lawyers; and our request for him to meet him as his lawyers has not been granted.
In fact, we have no idea where he is being held, and Interpol, which first had custody of him, says they don’t have him.
We will be filing a habeas corpus application by tomorrow if the Republic continues to deny him something as basic as his right to counsel.
Let’s keep treating our citizens as animals to please the FBI. We are doing well.
Today, it’s a supposed “fraud boy”. Tomorrow it will be a politician.
Shalom”.
Meanwhile, the Accra High Court has set July 10, 2026, to hear an application by lawyers for Ghanaian socialite Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, seeking to halt his extradition to the United States.
Abu Trica’s lawyer, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, made this known that the court has brought forward the hearing of the motion to stay his client’s extradition and has fixed July 10, 2026.
In a Facebook post, he stated, “The High Court has just made an order bringing forward the date for hearing of motion to stay the extradition of Abu Trica. Both parties must appear on 10 July”.
Also, 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.
