On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the General Jurisdiction 2 Division of the High Court granted Abu Trica bail in the sum of GH₵30 million, with two sureties to be justified, amid his fight against extradition to the United States.
Oliver Barker Vormawor, a member of his legal team, announced the massive development in a post shared on Facebook after the hearing.
"The High Court has just granted bail to Abu Trica. Shalom," he said.
On Monday, May 4, reports emerged indicating Abu Trica was still in custody due to struggling to meet his bail conditions.
The Accra High Court reportedly issued a directive to the socialite’s legal team to file for a variation of his bail condition due to struggling to meet the terms laid out in the original ruling.
According to GhOne TV, Abu Tria’s lawyers are expected to file a motion for new bail conditions, which the court would consider. Abu Trica’s struggle to meet his bail conditions sparked mixed reactions among Ghanaians on social media.

Lawyer Kissiedu on Abu Trica's legal setback
In an on-phone interview on Okay FM, Lawyer Kissiedu spoke about the possible reason why Abu Trica couldn't meet his bail condition.
According to the legal practitioner, the GH¢30 million involved is not cash in hand that needs to be presented in court; however, the two sureties who are to stand in for the socialite must have or be worth the amount involved, adding that Abu Trica might be struggling with that.
In the words of Lawyer Samuel Kissiedu, he said;
“If the court gives you bail, it doesn't end there; steps need to be taken for something called the bail execution, which is a work on its own and could take days to be met. There are cases where people remain in custody for months or even years because of the bail execution.
“In Abu Trica's case, he was given GH¢30 million with two sureties to be justified. Unfortunately, the justification could be the problem because he needs to get people who have properties worth GH¢30 million to be presented in court so that in the case of any escape, they would make that payment if they are unable to provide him.”
“Abu Trica hasn't been able to do the bail execution, which is why they needed to go back to the court to file for variation. Lawyers of Abu Trica appeared in court on Monday, May 4, but unfortunately, the judge rejected their oral plea and asked them to formalise it and present a motion. This is to help the court vary the terms and make it quite flexible so that they could meet the bail condition.
“The bail sum involved is not a cash in hand that will be presented in court as many might think, but the sureties added means the people who will stand in for him must have or be worth the GH¢30 million. I am sure Abu Trica is finding it difficult to get the two sureties, which is why he is still in custody.”
“But for now, Abu Trica's lawyers are going to file a variation, which would be argued upon by the Attorney General, but if they can convince him, the bail condition may be made flexible.”
