The mother of Daniel Yussif, an accomplice to embattled Ghanaian socialite Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, has broken down in tears as her son remains in custody.
Speaking in an emotional video, the Mother of Daniel Yussif disclosed that four people were arrested, but they have all been released except her son.
According to her, the son has been in custody for six months now, and his health is deteriorating.
The mother of Daniel Yussif, in a viral video, stated, “They arrested four people, including my son. They have freed all of them except for my son, Daniel.
“I’m pleading with the Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the first female vice president, to intervene in my son’s case,” she appealed.
She added, “My son has been in custody for six months now, and his health is deteriorating. They shouldn’t allow them to take my son away. They should at least grant bail to my son because he is suffering”.
“My son has done nothing wrong, and I’m pleading with the authorities to speak up for my son. They shouldn’t allow the Americans to take our sons away and change their destiny. I’m begging them to grant bail to my son, who is trying to earn a living. It is sad that they have left my son behind and released the others,” she stated.
“Are they trying to sell my son? We have gold, diamonds and other minerals, so will the extradition of my son Daniel solve Ghana’s problems? Mothers should rise and speak up. Due to my son’s condition, I haven’t been able to sleep,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Abu Trica has broken 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.
