Ghana Political Figures and Supporters Appeal to President Mahama to Free High-Profile Social Media Figure Amid Extradition Case

Supporters of Ghanaian social media personality Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, have intensified public calls for President John Dramani Mahama to intervene and secure his release from custody as he faces extradition proceedings to the United States.

During a tense scene outside the Accra High Court, Abu Trica’s wife and allied sympathizers launched a public campaign urging the president to halt his extradition and free him, chanting slogans and appealing directly to national leadership.

The high-profile case has drawn widespread attention across Ghana and online, with supporters gathering outside court premises and appealing for political intervention. Videos circulating on social media show crowds and emotional moments as his wife calls on government officials to act on his behalf.

Abu Trica is wanted by U.S. authorities on charges linked to alleged involvement in internet fraud schemes. Although his defense has maintained that he is innocent, the legal process for his potential extradition remains underway, and the public campaign adds a layer of political pressure to the unfolding situation.
