Lawyers for Frederick Kumi, known as Abu Trica, have challenged the court's jurisdiction in his extradition case. The defense argues the proceedings should be heard in a court with territorial jurisdiction based on the arrest location, citing legal acts. The judge, however, asserted her jurisdiction. The case was adjourned to January 13, 2026, to consider a formal application on the jurisdictional issue. Bail was denied for all three accused.
