Ghanaian socialite and singer, Hajia 4Real or Mona 4Reall, known in private life as Mona Faiz Montrage, has been sentenced to one year, and one day in prison following her involvement in a $2 million romance scam.
Her sentence was on the back of pleading guilty to the crime.
She was arrested in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2022, after travelling there to perform at the Ghana Music Awards UK.
Hajia 4Real (Mona 4Reall) was extradited to the United States of America in May 2023 to face prosecution.
After about a year of trials, the Ghanaian socialite and singer has been jailed.
While the prosecution sought a 37-month sentence for Mona Faiz Montrage, the judge decided to be lenient, according to Inner City Press.
“I sentence Ms Montrage to one year and one day in prison, the extra day to allow “good time”, the judge reportedly said.
“We propose she be allowed to fly back to Ghana as soon as she is released, with no ICE detention,” Defense stated.
Following her arrest, Mona thought she would be vindicated—but the law is taking its course.
Hajia 4Real got further prominence in Ghana after she ventured into the music industry. She released a couple of songs before she was arrested.
Her sentence has garnered massive attention online.
