Lawyer Godwin Ako Gunn stated that the extradition of Abu Trica to the United States for alleged fraud amounts to contempt of court. Abu Trica is facing charges in the US related to an $8 million romance scam.

Gunn explained that the act of extraditing Abu Trica while the matter was still before the courts is a serious legal matter. He questioned who authorised the extradition.

Abu Trica was reportedly extradited on July 11, 2026. He is accused of defrauding individuals of millions of dollars through online schemes.

The extradition follows a request from the United States government. Officials are expected to provide clarity on the legal proceedings.
