Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, was extradited from Ghana to the United States on Thursday, July 9, following an order by the Accra High Court.
According to Asaase Radio, Abu Trica departed from Kotoka International Airport aboard Delta Air Lines Flight DL157 bound for the United States.
His extradition follows a July 2 ruling by the Accra High Court, which upheld an earlier district court decision, clearing the remaining legal processes for his transfer to the US.
The development comes after his legal team recently raised concerns about his whereabouts and access to him.
Lead counsel Oliver Barker-Vormawor said he was out of the country when the extradition process was expedited and had been unable to locate his client shortly before the transfer.
Abu Trica was arrested on December 11, 2025, during a joint operation involving Ghanaian security agencies and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
He is being sought by US authorities in connection with an alleged $8 million romance fraud case, for which he is expected to face trial in the United States.
