Written by Sarah Boye

The lawyers of Hajia 4Real are pleased with the court’s decision in the actress’s fraud case.

Despite their request for a three-month prison term, the judge sentenced her to one year and one day to close the case of U.S. v. Mona Montrage, 22 Cr 617 (JPO).

This outcome has brought relief to her legal team, which managed to secure a much lighter sentence than the government’s proposed 37 to 46 months of imprisonment.

The legal team stated after the sentencing.

“We are incredibly proud of the advocacy done on our client’s behalf and the result achieved. Our client will be issuing a statement when she is ready”.

Hajia 4Real had pleaded guilty to charges related to internet fraud. Her lawyers had argued for leniency, highlighting her role as a single mother and the importance of her presence in her child’s life.
