In a surprising twist, the legal team of Ghanaian socialite Hajia4Real has presented evidence in court that she was unaware of some of the fraudulent activities committed in her name. The team is fighting for a lenient sentence as the fraud case approaches sentencing.
According to reports, Hajia4Real’s lawyers revealed that scammers had used her image and likeness, as well as those of other Ghanaian celebrities like Stonebwoy, Efya, Bola Ray, and others, to defraud victims without their knowledge or consent.
The court was shown evidence of fake social media accounts and messages impersonating Hajia4Real and other celebrities, which were used to convince victims to transfer large sums of money to the scammers.
Hajia4Real’s team argues that this new evidence mitigates her liability and demonstrates that she was not fully responsible for the extent of the fraud. The prosecution, however, maintains that Hajia4Real was a willing participant in the scheme and should receive a significant sentence.
In a landmark judgment, a US court has sentenced Ghanaian socialite, Hajia4Real, to one year in prison for her involvement in a high-profile romance fraud scheme. The verdict marks a significant milestone in the ongoing crackdown on fraud and scams.
