A High Court in Accra has ordered the extradition of Fredrick Kumi, widely known as “Abu Trica,” to the United States to face charges tied to an alleged $8 million romance scam.
Abu Trica’s lawyer, Oliver Barker‑Vormawor, confirmed the ruling in a Facebook post, on Thursday, July 2, calling it a fast‑tracked decision that may prompt an appeal to the Supreme Court.
“I am out of Ghana for work. I just heard that the case of Abu Trica has been fast tracked and a judge has just ordered his extradition. Hmmm. FBI 1 – Abu 1. I guess this issue goes to the Supreme Court," he stated.
The extradition order follows earlier proceedings in which the Accra High Court granted Kumi bail of GH¢30 million with two justified sureties after he spent months in custody.
He has been detained since December 2025 and is wanted by US authorities on allegations of romance fraud.
The latest judgment is likely to escalate the legal battle, with appeals expected as the extradition process continues.
