A team of Ghanaian security operatives arrested the Swedru-based businessman on December 11, 2025.
According to the US Justice Department, Abu Trica was allegedly part of a romance fraud syndicate that defrauded elderly Americans out of more than $8m.
He faces charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and a forfeiture specification if extradited to the United States.
The businessman has denied all charges, claiming the FBI framed him.
In an interview on Accra-based Onua TV on June 3, 2026, Abu Trica said authorities had acknowledged that the amount involved was $13,000 and nowhere close to $8 million.
Abu Trica granted bail in extradition fight
After several months in custody, the Accra High Court granted Abu Trica bail on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in the sum of GHS 30 million with two sureties to be justified.
The businessman was released on May 15 after finally meeting all the prescribed conditions.
Initially, his extradition was approved by the Gbese District Court, but he took his fight to the High Court, which has yet to make a decision.

"Extradition cases are always high stakes. They can determine not just a person's future, but also test diplomatic and legal relationships between countries."

"For the rest of his life, this is how it is going to be...I repeat...there won't be any extradition; it will be in and out of court for like 5 to 10 years, then they will throw the case away. But if he makes mistakes, travels to any country the FBI have control over, he will be taken simple."
