The now-viral video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page of @deprincegh showed the elderly woman clad in white as she made a plea to the appropriate authorities regarding her son's trial.
The woman pleaded with President John Mahama to forgive her son and ensure that the extradition does not happen as intended.
“My son Abu Trica, Frederick Kumi, any bad thing he has done please forgive him. He has erred, but please forgive him. You have the power in this matter,” she said, looking sad.
Abu Trica, who has been in police custody since December 11, 2025, was arrested in a joint operation between the FBI and Ghanaian security agencies, facing charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and forfeiture specification.
He is facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted in the US for his alleged crimes.
The Gbese High Court in March ruled on the extradition case involving the embattled Ghanaian socialite and businessman, ordering that he be handed over to US authorities for extradition proceedings.
The court also granted Abu Trica 15 days to file documents to contest the ruling.
It also dismissed an application filed by his lawyers and rejected claims that his arrest was politically motivated or amounted to entrapment.

At the time of writing, the video had generated over 2,000 likes and 200 comments.
