Abu Trica disputes allegations that he was involved in an $8 million romance-fraud scheme
Socialite and businessman Abu Trica has disclosed that several of his luxury vehicles have been confiscated by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV on June 3, 2026, he claimed that a number of high-end cars were taken during an initial operation at his residence and have still not been returned.
When asked which of his assets were affected, the recently bailed socialite said his cars remain the only property yet to be released to him.
He specifically mentioned a Lamborghini Urus, a Tesla Cybertruck, and a BMW i8 among the vehicles he says were confiscated by the security agency.
'I was handcuffed for 12 hours!' - Abu Trica recounts arrest
Abu Trica, whose legal name is Frederick Kumi, was arrested on December 11, 2025, in a coordinated operation involving the FBI and Ghanaian security services.
He was accused of being part of a network that allegedly defrauded elderly Americans of more than $8 million through romance scams.
As extradition proceedings advanced, his legal team, led by Oliver Barker-Vormawor, repeatedly applied for bail, which was initially denied on several occasions.
He was eventually granted bail by the Accra High Court, set at GH₵30 million with two sureties to be justified on April 21, 2026. However, he remained in custody until he satisfied all bail conditions and was released on May 15, 2026.
