Videos and photos of Ghanaian socialite and businessman Abu Trica looking visibly downcast have taken over social media following the latest ruling by the Gbese High Court.
On Friday, March 27, 2026, the court ordered that Abu Trica be handed over to United States authorities to begin extradition proceedings, marking a major development in the high-profile case that has attracted nationwide attention.
Although the ruling clears the way for his transfer to the United States, the court granted his legal team 15 days to file documents to challenge the decision. This window allows his lawyers to contest the extradition order through legal procedures before any final action is taken.
The court also dismissed an application filed by his legal representatives, who argued that his arrest and detention were politically motivated. The judge ruled that the claim lacked sufficient legal merit and could not stop the extradition process.
Shortly after the court session, videos circulating on social media showed Abu Trica in handcuffs, dressed in a black T-shirt and shorts, quietly leaving the court premises under police escort. His downcast expression reflected the seriousness of the situation as officers led him away.

Abu Trica has been in police custody since December 11, 2025, after he was arrested in a joint operation involving the FBI and Ghanaian security agencies. The arrest formed part of an international investigation into alleged criminal activities linked to the socialite.
If extradited and convicted in the United States, Abu Trica could face up to 20 years in prison, making the next 15 days crucial as his legal team prepares to challenge the ruling.
The case continues to generate widespread reactions across social media and the public space, with many Ghanaians closely monitoring developments and awaiting the next legal move in the ongoing extradition battle.
