Abu Trica, a socialite and businessman from Ghana whose true name is Frederick Kumi, appeared before the Gbese Court for a hearing in his continuing extradition case to the United States due to alleged financial crimes.
There was also Daniel Yusif, his accused collaborator.
Since December 11, 2025, Abu Trica, whose real name is Emmanuel Kojo Baah Obeng, has been detained by the police as a result of an FBI and Ghanaian security agency collaboration.
He is accused with money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, and a forfeiture specification, according to an unsealed US Justice Department indictment.
The state objected to bail at the hearing, claiming that Abu Trica is unemployed. Oliver Barker Vormawor, his attorney, pointed up the defense’s stance.
“Since the last hearing on bail, which was denied, nothing new has come up to allow him to be granted bail.” the court decided. As a result, bail was denied once more.
The next return date was set by the court for March 18, 2026. Abu Trica has until February 27 to submit an address, which needs to be sent to the Republic by March 2.
