Fresh twist in Abu Trica case as court sets July 9 hearing over extradition stay

The Accra High Court has granted lawyers for embattled socialite Abu Trica an abridgement of time to hear an emergency injunction application seeking to temporarily halt his extradition to the United States, marking a fresh twist in the ongoing legal battle.

The latest application follows earlier proceedings in which the High Court dismissed a certiorari application seeking to quash a ruling by the Gbese District Court that authorised Abu Trica’s extradition in connection with criminal charges in the United States.

Should the emergency application not be in Abu Trica’s favour, his legal team has indicated plans to escalate it to the Supreme Court in what could be a final attempt to stop the extradition.
