Ghanaian socialite and businessman Abu Trica has claimed that a resident of Cape Coast provided information that contributed to the FBI investigation that eventually led to his arrest.

Speaking in an interview on Onua TV, Abu Trica alleged that the individual repeatedly contacted him about a bank account linked to the case and persistently requested information about another person said to be connected to the account.

According to him, he initially answered the questions and shared the information he had. However, he claimed the individual continued to contact him even after he had exhausted everything he knew.

“The person kept asking questions about the account and wanted me to identify another individual connected to it. Even after I told him everything I knew, the calls continued,” Abu Trica alleged.

He further claimed that after refusing to provide any more information, the caller began reaching out multiple times a day, a pattern he described as excessive and suspicious.

Beyond the allegations surrounding the supposed informant, Abu Trica also addressed reports linking him to an alleged $8 million fraud case. He denied owning the account at the center of the investigation and insisted that he played only a minor role in the transactions under scrutiny.

“I was not the owner of the account. My involvement was limited, and I only received a small percentage of the money that passed through it,” he said.

Abu Trica claimed the transaction involved a total of $50,000, with $13,000 set aside for distribution. According to him, the majority of the funds went to the account holder, while he received only five percent.

He also rejected suggestions that he had any personal connection to the account owner, maintaining that he neither knew the individual personally nor had ownership of the account.

“I do not know the account holder personally, and the account was never mine,” he stated.

Abu Trica continues to deny any involvement in the alleged $8 million fraud scheme, insisting that he has been wrongly linked to the account that remains central to the ongoing investigation.
