Influencer demands massive compensation over alleged unlawful arrest and rights abuse
Controversial Ghanaian social media personality Abu Trica has launched a blockbuster lawsuit, suing the Interior Minister, the FBI, EOCO, and other state agencies for a whopping GH¢10 million, following what he describes as an illegal arrest and gross violation of his fundamental human rights.
The lawsuit, now before the courts, has sparked nationwide debate due to the rare inclusion of both Ghanaian authorities and the FBI in a single legal action.
“My rights were trampled upon. I am demanding justice,” Abu Trica is reported to have stated.
THE GH¢10 MILLION CLAIM
In his suit, Abu Trica alleges:
- Unlawful arrest and detention
- Abuse of power by state institutions
- Psychological and reputational damage
He is seeking GH¢10 million in damages, insisting the amount reflects the gravity of the alleged violations.
PUBLIC REACTION: SHOCK, SUPPORT, AND SKEPTICISM
The case has ignited heated reactions online:
- Supporters hail Abu Trica for challenging powerful institutions
- Critics question the scale of the compensation demanded
- Legal analysts say the case could test the limits of accountability and jurisdiction, especially involving foreign agencies
A CASE TO WATCH
As the legal battle unfolds, observers say the lawsuit could become a landmark case in Ghana’s legal history, particularly on issues of civil liberties, law enforcement conduct, and international cooperation.
Whether Abu Trica succeeds or not, one thing is certain: the courtroom drama is just beginning.
