Abu Trica, whose real name is Frederick Kumi, was extradited from Ghana to the United States in July 2026 over an alleged $8 million romance fraud scheme.
US prosecutors allege the Swedru-based influencer used AI-generated fake personas to build emotional connections with elderly victims on social media and dating apps before soliciting money from them under invented pretences.
The case is being pursued under the US Elder Abuse Prevention and Prosecution law.
Abu Trica challenge ends after one day
Leo CULU Moh DON BN 69 Miami (@fawogyimiiko_), who has 32.1K followers, kicked things off with a straightforward declaration:
"Day 1 of posting Abu trica till he's back in Ghana."
The post was a nod to a popular X trend where users commit to daily posts until a specific outcome is achieved.
The format has built momentum around causes of all kinds, but for CULU, the determination ran out overnight.
Less than 24 hours after his opening post, he returned with a blunt follow-up:
"Chale I've read the case file and it's nkwasia Adwuma, he's not coming back. Abu I'm sorry."
Together, the two posts pulled in over 300,000 views combined.
Below is the X post in which Leo ended his monumental challenge for Abu Trica's return.

Abu Trica's case declared complex
According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, a United States District Court granted a request by Frederick Kumi's defence team to have his alleged $8 million romance scam case declared a complex matter.
The court filing cited an extensive volume of discovery materials that cannot be reviewed before the originally scheduled trial date on September 8.
Judge John R. Adams set a pretrial conference for August 25, 2026, to determine a revised timeline for the high-profile case.
