'If Abu Trica has committed any wrongdoing, forgive him' - Girlfriend pleads

The girlfriend of Abu Trica, a Ghanaian facing a possible extradition to the US over a romance scam, has made an emotional appeal to the government and the general public, calling for leniency.

In a heartfelt message sighted by GhanaWeb during a protest calling for Abu’s freedom, she expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for the support she says they have shown since the issue came to public attention.

“I want to thank all Ghanaians for their support since day one. I hope my message reaches the president and the appropriate authorities,” she said.

She further pleaded for forgiveness on behalf of her partner, stating that any wrongdoing should not define his fate.

If Abu has committed any wrongdoing or caused harm to anyone, we sincerely ask for forgiveness,” she appealed.

The young woman also described the emotional and psychological toll the situation has taken on her and her family, particularly over the past few months.

“At this point, the extradition process has become overwhelming for us. I have a young child, and the past four months have been extremely stressful,” she added.

She added that the situation has left them feeling powerless and unable to cope with the uncertainty surrounding the case.

“We feel helpless. I may not be able to say everything, but I humbly appeal to Ghanaians to have mercy on us and forgive us,” she appealed.

Her plea comes amid growing public interest in the case, as authorities continue processes that could see Abu Trica extradited to face charges abroad.

Meanwhile, the Gbese District Court has granted a request to surrender Frederick Kumi, also known as Abu Trica, to United States authorities.

This follows his indictment over an alleged role in a large-scale online romance scam estimated at over $8 million.

However, Abu Trica and his legal team have been given 15 days to challenge the ruling. This means the extradition process will not proceed until the expiration of the 15-day period, during which a habeas corpus application may be filed.

The court also dismissed claims suggesting political motivation and entrapment in the case.
