The U.S court has permitted Ghanaian songstress and socialite Mona Faiz Montrage popularly known as Hajia4Reall to pursue some courses at a University in New Jersey.
This comes after she, represented by her new lawyer, Mr. Michael Perkins, pleaded the court to ease her pre-trial bail restrictions to make it more feasible for her to attend classes among others.
In a document presented to the court, Hajia4Reall, who is currently in home confinement, stated that she intends to pursue a 5-month course in English Composition and Public Speaking at the Union College, from January to May 2024.
“I respectfully write the court with the consent of the government and pre-trial services to request the modification of Ms. Montage’s pre-trail bail conditions to allow her attend class at the Union College in the spring 2024 semester. Ms. Montrage is currently on home confinement. She would like to enroll part-time in the Union College in the spring 2024 semester,” parts of the documents made available to the public read.
Mona’s lawyer, also stated that they have taken a step to inform the pre-trail officers and supervisors who have no objection, as far as proof of enrollment and school schedule is provided.
However, the court, after analyzing the documents said if the prosecution, FBI and state attorneys do not find anything wrong with the development, then she can go ahead.
Recall that Hajia4Reall was extradited to the United States from the United Kingdom over alleged involvement in a $2 million romance scam targeting older, single Americans.
Labeled ‘Montrage Accounts’ and numbered from Account 1 to Account 5, these accounts were said to have accrued deposits that totaled $2,165, 000 from six (6) victims.
According to US federal prosecutors, the 30-year-old musician cum businesswoman first appeared in Manhattan federal court on Monday, May 15 for her alleged involvement in a series of romance schemes.
