Legal practitioner and social activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor has said that his legal team has been approached by several spiritualists offering what they describe as “paid-for spiritual solutions” in the ongoing case involving self-styled businessman Abu Trica.
In a post shared on social media, Barker-Vormawor said the development has introduced an unexpected layer of distraction to what is already a high-profile and complex legal matter.

His comments come in the wake of reports that Abu Trica is set to be released on bail, further intensifying public interest in the case.
Abu Trica, who has been in custody for months, was granted bail in the sum of GH¢30 million with two sureties to be justified by the court.
He has been in police custody since December 2025 following his arrest in connection with an extradition request from the United States over alleged romance fraud-related offences.
The case was first filed at the District Court, where he was remanded before his legal team proceeded to the High Court to apply for bail.

Meanwhile, Abu Trica’s lawyer, Saani Abdul Salam, has confirmed that efforts are underway to meet the strict bail requirements set by the High Court.
“We are taking steps to satisfy the bail conditions imposed by the court,” he stated.
The case continues to generate public debate as legal and public interest developments unfold.

Jubilant King commented:
"My brother, this matter is very serious. It is almost like a whole business operation for some of them. I remember when I reported at Peace FM about one of our company vehicles that had been stolen. My number was shared with anyone with useful information to call and assist with locating the car.
But the calls I received weren’t from people with credible leads. Instead, many were asking me to come and see one prophet or man of God who could ‘help locate’ the vehicle. Chale, it was something else."

"From what I've heard, he's a good person who made significant contributions to society and was involved in many community projects - it's a shame he didn't have guidance on keeping his finances private. Hope the big guys will sit him down when he’s finally left free."
