A supporter of self-styled businessman Frederick Kumi has been taken into police custody for allegedly making threats against the judge presiding over his case.
The incident occurred after the Gbese District Court in Accra ruled in favour of allowing Abu Trica to be extradited to the United States of America to face charges related to an alleged romance scam involving $8 million.

The protester, reportedly emotional over the court’s decision, argued that the businessman was responsible for the daily welfare of hundreds of people and should therefore be allowed to walk free.
He allegedly warned that if the court refused to release Abu Trica, he would take matters into his own hands and attack the justices handling the case.
Following these remarks, police officers present at the scene detained the man for allegedly making threatening statements targeting the district court judge.
It is not yet known whether the protester will face prosecution or be released with a caution. The police have yet to issue an official comment on the matter.

In an Instagram video, the legal expert explained that the ruling does not mean Abu Trica will be extradited immediately.
He noted that the defence team has a 15-day window to file an appeal, should there be sufficient grounds to challenge the decision.
While he did not confirm whether the team will proceed with an appeal or allow the ruling to stand for the client’s extradition, his comments have generated widespread discussion.
According to him, the legal team had earlier presented arguments in court pointing to a political connection influencing the progression of the case.
He indicated that this concern had been raised, but it did not yield the desired outcome.
"This is a bit difficult, but there’s a political connection," he said, explaining the position they had put before the court.
The future of the young man remains uncertain as observers and supporters await the next steps from his legal team and how the case will unfold in the coming days.
