Mona Faiz Montrage alias “Hajia4Reall a popular Ghanaian socialite and singer appeal for her deportation to Ghana has been granted by a US court.
Hajia 4Reall pleaded guilty to defrauding individuals and businesses in the United States between 2013 and 2019 and was serving a 12-month sentence at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia.
