Abu Trica's Associate Daniel Yusif (aka “Slab”) Arrested At Kotoka Int. Airport In Connection With Alleged Wire Fraud

Daniel Yusif, a close associate of Ghanaian social media figure Frederick Kumi (aka Abu Trica), has been apprehended in Ghana over alleged involvement in wire fraud and money-laundering related to an international romance scam. Security forces intercepted Yusif as he attempted to leave the country through Kotoka International Airport and subsequently took him into custody.

Yusif appeared before the Gbese Magistrate Court in Accra on Friday, January 16, 2026, where prosecutors linked him to an unsealed FBI indictment tied to the broader case against Abu Trica. His lawyers sought bail, but the prosecution argued his alleged role in the alleged crimes warranted continued detention.

This development comes amid ongoing legal proceedings involving Frederick Kumi, who was arrested in December 2025 in Ghana and is facing charges connected to a U.S. romance scam that reportedly defrauded victims of more than $8 million. Ghanaian authorities, including the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), have confirmed the case and described the network as using fake identities and online relationships to gain victims’ trust and extract money from elderly targets in the U.S.

Investigations remain active as Ghanaian and international agencies work toward possible extradition and further legal action in the United States. 🇬🇭
