Ghanaian businessman and socialite Abu Trica has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged $8 million fraud case, insisting that the figures circulating in the media are incorrect.
He claimed that investigators actually referred to a much smaller amount during questioning, which he said was about $13,000, not millions of dollars as widely reported.
Speaking in an interview, Abu Trica said he was shocked by how the case was being portrayed publicly.
According to him, the allegations were exaggerated and did not reflect what was discussed during investigations.
He also shared details of his arrest, alleging that he was taken to a detention facility before being moved to a dimly lit room where he was interrogated by several individuals.
He described the experience as intimidating and unusual.
Abu Trica further alleged that he was shown documents during questioning and pressured to name the owner of a bank account he said was not his.
He claimed that when he refused, investigators became frustrated and threatened to escalate the financial figure linked to the case.
He maintained that the idea of an $8 million case was never part of the original investigation, insisting it was later introduced under questionable circumstances.The socialite said he felt unfairly treated during the process and questioned the conduct of those involved in the interrogation.
Despite the controversy, he remains on bail as legal proceedings continue at the Gbese District Court, where the matter is still under investigation.Abu Trica has continued to deny wrongdoing, stating that he will defend himself against what he describes as misleading accusations.
