An Accra High Court has ordered the extradition of Ghanaian socialite Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica to the United States.
According to Abu Trica’s legal representative, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the High Court dismissed an application seeking to block his transfer to the United States.
In a post shared on X, Oliver Barker Vormawor wrote, “I am out of Ghana for work. I just heard that the case of Abu Trica has been fast-tracked and a judge has just ordered his extradition.
Hmmm. FBI 1 – Abu 1. I guess this issue goes to the Supreme Court”.
Meanwhile, some weeks ago, Abu Trica broke his silence on the claimed $8 million romance scam levelled against him.
According to Abu Trica, there is no such thing as an $8 million claim in the case against him, arguing that the foreigners themselves admitted they gave him $13,000.
He further argued that he was set up, revealing that while he was in custody, two foreigners attempted to set him up during interrogation, claiming they had evidence against him.
Speaking on Accra-based Onua TV on June 3, 2026, Abu Trica argued, “There is no such thing as an $8 million claim in the case against me. They themselves admitted they gave me $13,000”.
“The reason behind how the $8 million came about is that they came to arrest me and pick me up at night to NACOC cells. While in the cells, they came and told me that some men needed to interrogate me. It was a dark conference room, and I saw five men, three of whom were white and two were black,” he stated.
“They placed some documents in front of me, not knowing it was a setup orchestrated by themselves,” he said.
“The informant told me to provide an account for them because they knew it did not belong to me. They wanted me to mention the name of the account owner, which I refused to do. They became furious and threatened to charge me with taking $8 million instead of the initial $1 million claim against me,” he disclosed.
“I thought it was a joke. How can a foreigner treat me like that in my own country and threaten me?” he said.
