Hajia 4Reall To Be Released On May 22 Pending 3 Years Supervised Release

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, incarcerated Ghanaian “influencer” and socialite Mona Faiz Montrage, also known as Hajia 4Reall, will be released from the FDC Philadelphia facility in the USA on Thursday, May 22, 2025.

 

A search on the facility’s website confirmed she is due for release.

 

Upon her release, Hajia 4Reall will go into removal proceedings with immigration, followed by a self-deportation.

 

In November 2024, Hon. J. Paul Oetken, a US District Court Judge, granted a request by Fast Law, lawyers of the Ghanaian socialite, to help facilitate her self-deportation proceedings to Ghana upon completion of her sentence.

 

Hajia 4Reall was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for receiving romance scam proceeds. Montrage previously pleaded guilty on February 21, 2024, to conspiracy to receive stolen money.

 

Although she is due for release, she will also face three years of supervised release while in Ghana.

 

A supervised release is a period of restricted freedom for prisoners who have recently been released from federal custody.

 

During her sentencing, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said, “Mona Faiz Montrage knowingly received illegal funds from older Americans who were victims of romance scams and now faces serious consequences for her actions.

 

Romance scams such as Montrage’s harm vulnerable, elderly victims not only in the cruel betrayal of trust in the realization that their online romantic connection was fiction but also by callously stealing their money. This office and our law enforcement partners are relentless in bringing fraudsters who target Americans to justice, no matter where they are.”

 

A Ghanaian public figure, Hajia 4Real, rose to fame as an influencer through her Instagram profile under the username “Hajia4Real,” which at one point had approximately 3.4 million Instagram followers and was among the top 10 most followed profiles in Ghana.
