Bishop Ajagurajah warns Abu Trica: “Stay offline” amid FBI extradition battle

Founder of the Ajagurajah Movement, Bishop Kwabena Asiamah, has issued a strong warning to socialite Frederick Kumi, known as Abu Trica, urging him to cease his online provocations against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as he battles extradition to the United States.

The intervention follows Abu Trica’s release on a GH¢30 million bail on May 15, 2026, after months in custody over allegations of involvement in an $8 million romance scam targeting elderly Americans . Rather than maintaining a low profile, Abu Trica took to Snapchat on May 18 to post a defiant message: “The FBI is not God. And just like the Ghana Police, when they make an allegation, they must prove it.”

Reacting to the post, Bishop Ajagurajah advised the socialite to prioritize his legal defense over social media engagement. According to the spiritual leader, continuous public commentary that challenges investigative bodies could complicate his legal situation, lead to increased pressure from authorities, and potentially frustrate efforts to resolve the case .

Legal Background
Abu Trica was arrested in a joint operation by the FBI and Ghanaian security agencies on December 11, 2025. The US Justice Department alleges he is part of a criminal network using AI to create fake identities to defraud elderly victims . In March 2026, a Ghanaian court cleared the way for his extradition, though his legal team has filed appeals and a separate human rights lawsuit against the FBI and Ghanaian officials .

Public Reaction
Bishop Ajagurajah argued that individuals under investigation must be strategic in their public conduct. His advice has sparked debate online—while some agree that silence is “golden,” others question whether this infringes on freedom of expression . One social media user commented, “Abu, your ribs are too soft for them,” referring to the high-profile individuals the FBI has successfully prosecuted .

As the extradition case remains active, legal experts note that public posts could potentially harm his defense. The legal process is expected to continue for months as higher courts review the case .
