Speaking on his show, The Evidence on Ohia TV, Abronye DC alleged boldly that Richard Archer had orchestrated the legal woes of Abu Trica.

According to him, the EOCO boss allegedly contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to probe the socialite and not the other way around.

“If the EOCO boss were asked to bring out documents from the US that outline the charges of Abu Trica, he would be able to provide them because, allegedly, there is no such thing,” he claimed.
“There is no evidence against Abu Trica, but because Raymond doesn't want to be disgraced, he is allegedly preparing the documents by himself to extradite the socialite to the US,” he alleged.

Abronye further claimed that he knows a 'big man' in Ghana who is under pressure because the EOCO boss is allegedly blackmailing him over claims that he is being sought by the FBI.

Speaking on Onua Maakye on February 25, 2026, Captain Smart accused Archer of being a bad person, alleging that he was behind the arrest of Shatta Wale in connection with his yellow Lamborghini Urus.

According to him, the EOCO boss purportedly petitioned the FBI to arrest the dancehall artist not long after his vehicle had been shipped to Ghana.

Captain Smart alleged that, after thorough investigations, the bureau realised that the vehicle was genuinely purchased and there was no case of theft.

“I am very serious this morning, and I can put my job on the line; EOCO boss, Raymond Archer, is a very bad person. He was behind Shatta Wale's arrest. He wrote a letter to the FBI, of which I have a copy, to probe him after he shipped his Lamborghini to Ghana. He was later led down after investigations conducted by the FBI showed that the car was not stolen but rightfully purchased,” he said.

Captain Smart further sent a strong message to President John Mahama, saying that he would 'decide for him' because of the EOCO boss.
