Hajia4Real, the popular Ghanaian socialite and musician, has had her ankle monitor removed following a recent court decision.
Her sentencing date, initially set for this week, has been adjourned for two weeks, providing a reprieve in her ongoing legal battle.
This development followed a plea from her legal representative, Eleana Fast of ‘The Fast Law Firm’, to the court for the temporary removal of the ankle monitor to facilitate an MRI scan.
In a letter to the court, Fast respectfully requested the modification of Ms. Mona Montrage’s pre-trial conditions due to pain in her left ankle, as recommended by her doctor.
“I am an attorney of record for Ms. Mona Montrage in the above-mentioned case. I am writing to respectfully request that Ms. Montrage’s pre-trial conditions be modified to allow for the temporary removal of her ankle monitor to facilitate an MRI scan.
Ms. Montrage has been experiencing pain in her left ankle, and her doctor has recommended the scan,” the letter stated.
“If authorized by the court, Ms. Montrage is scheduled for the MRI on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 8 am at 574 Springfield Avenue, Westfield, New Jersey 07090. I have also provided supporting medical documentation,” the statement added.
Subsequently, Hajia4Reall’s legal team’s request was granted, resulting in the removal of her ankle monitor on the same day.
In a related development, just five days before Hajia4Reall’s scheduled sentencing, her legal team submitted another letter to the court requesting a two-week adjournment co-signed by Eleana Fast, Esq.
The letter outlined the need for additional time to gather necessary documents for the defense’s sentencing submission, including outstanding letters of support and a letter from Ms. Montrage’s immigration attorney regarding the potential immigration consequences of her conviction.
“We, along with Eleana Fast, Esq., represent Mona Montrage in the above-captioned matter and respectfully request that the scheduled sentencing date be adjourned for two weeks. Despite our diligent efforts, there are still some materials outstanding that are needed for the defense’s sentencing submission.
Specifically, we have several letters of support that are still outstanding. Additionally, we are awaiting a letter from Ms. Montrage’s immigration attorney regarding the potential immigration consequences that Ms. Montrage may suffer as a result of her conviction.”
“We have confirmed with the United States Attorney and Steiner, who have no objections. The parties are available for sentencing on June 19 or June 24-28 if it pleases the court,” the letter read.

This is how some Africa (Ghanaians) expose us to the ridicule of the whites. Like XI will say blacks are stupid. When you emphasize your very the evals masters passport over your own livelihood (personal self development). It is sad. Indeed PhDs have not transformed Africa (Ghana) but that is way better and dignifying than the ‘Any work'(Adwuma biaa’) that you guys go to Oyibo to do? Tell me what work do you do there.
There is no way this passport makes you a 1st class citizen. You will never have equal rights and privileges like the indigenes. In the eyes of the evals master you are just a polished slave helping him with cleaning, driving, gardening etc, menial job, any work. I am anti-neo evals trade and brain drain because if all of us decide to relocate a road because of our stomach how will the Africa (Ghana) dream fulfill.
If the white selfishly walked the path you guys are walk will their lands be developed for it to look appealing to you? We ought all to grow up as Africans (Ghanaians) to stop the modern day (yrevals) and (edartevals) agency. And return home because Joshua the true awaited 3rd Force has matured to rewrite all the wrongs for our spiritual and economic emancipation as African (Ghanaians). I have over 250 videos in which I present my vision & pragmatic solutions needed to salvage the nation from our current economic quagmire and to transform Ghana aggressively into a first class economy, the likes of Dubai using our own people.
Watch my videos, comment like and share for the future you want to see in Ghana. Don’t mind guys such as him, since we have since they like to be in the back seat instead of the driving seat just by being a little selfless and self seeking, we will rebuild Ghana and make they will return to be second class citizen just like they enjoy to be in Oyibo for parochial interest. Salute!
