Why was Abu Trica arrested?
Abu Trica was arrested in a joint operation between the FBI and Ghanaian security agencies in December 2025.
According to an unsealed US Justice Department indictment, the embattled socialite is facing charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and a forfeiture specification.
Abu is facing up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted in the US for his alleged crimes.
In a press statement released after his arrest, the Justice Department alleged that Abu Trica was a member of a criminal syndicate that targeted elderly victims in the US in romance scam schemes.
The syndicate had reportedly been operating since 2023 and had defrauded its unsuspecting victims out of more than $8 million.
Abu Trica and his alleged accomplices reportedly used artificial intelligence (AI) software to assume false identities and form close personal relationships with their victims.
The group allegedly gained their victims’ trust to obtain money and valuables, often targeting individuals through social media and online dating platforms under false pretences.
It added that, after gaining the victims' trust, they requested money for urgent needs, including medical treatment, travel expenses, or investment opportunities.
Abu Trica was allegedly part of the individuals who distributed the alleged criminal proceeds once gained from the US to Ghana and other countries.
The FBI Cleveland Division reportedly conducted the investigation into the crime syndicate with support from the Attorney General’s Office, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Cyber Security Authority (CSA), the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), and the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).
Abu Trica's girlfriend and baby mama, Abena Oforiwaa, popularly known as Queenie, was also reportedly apprehended by security agencies to assist with investigations.
She was eventually released from custody following the intervention of Ghanaian lawyer and activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor and his firm.
Abu Trica's two associates, who were arrested alongside him, have also been released after the state discontinued their case against them.
Daniel Yusif, an alleged associate of the Swedru-based socialite, was also later arrested at the Kotoka International Airport after attempting to flee the country.
