'The money starts controlling you' - Efia Odo reacts to Abu Trica extradition

Ghanaian media personality and actress Efia Odo has expressed her disappointment with many ‘businessmen’ who flaunt their wealth on social media, adding that many are being influenced by a spirit.

Her post comes following the extradition of Abu Trica to the United States on fraud related charges.

Abu Trica, whose real name is Frederick Kumi, was extradited to the United States on July 9, 2026, to face charges relating to an alleged $8 million romance scam that targeted elderly Americans.
