Just In: Abu Trica Extradited To US After Months Of Legal Battle Over Alleged $8 million Romance Scam
Ghanaian socialite Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, has reportedly been extradited to the United States to face trial over his alleged involvement in an $8 million romance fraud scheme targeting elderly Americans.
However, the legal battle took a dramatic turn on July 2, 2026, when the Accra High Court dismissed an application seeking to overturn an earlier ruling by the Gbese District Court approving the extradition request.
Other notable figures who have faced extradition or prosecution in similar cases include Joseph Badu Boateng, popularly known as Dada Joe Remix, who is accused of participating in an alleged $100 million fraud ring, and Ghanaian musician and socialite Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, who was extradited from the United Kingdom in 2023 and later pleaded guilty in the United States.
