Abu Trica's lawyer raised health concerns

The extradition has drawn attention not only because of the fraud allegations but also due to concerns raised by Abu Trica's legal team in the hours leading up to his departure.

His lawyer, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, revealed that he had been unable to locate or meet with his client before Kumi was flown out of the country.

Earlier reports had indicated that Abu Trica had been rushed to the Police Hospital in Accra, with Barker-Vormawor voicing concern over what he described as a denial of access to legal counsel.
