Following her extradition to the United States for her alleged involvement in a $2 million romance scam, socialite Hajia 4 Reall has been defended by Ghanaian mental health activist Nana Abena Korkor Addo.
Hajia has been accused of fraud and money laundering by the US Attorney’s Office for her involvement in a romance fraud scheme.
Ghanaians have denounced her for previous interviews in which she claimed to have labored long and hard for her money before being revealed to be a fraudster.
Abena Korkor, who has previously served time for drug smuggling in a U.S. prison, has attempted to comfort Hajia.
She claimed that since American prisons were well-equipped, she shouldn’t worry too much about spending time there.
She added that she would return to Ghana after her incarceration and continue to be a star there.
In a post on social media Abena said “@hajia4reall you are a tough nut to crack. You may have made some mistakes but you rise above it. I always believe in reformation. US prisons are well equipped if you are there. Take the time to reflect on your life and come back a winner. Book deals, more music etc awaits you. May God be your strength.
We are all trying to survive and make best of opportunities presented. Sometimes we are exploited by predators in our lives. Never give up, I am a living testimony”.
Yesterday, Hajia 4 Reall was extradited from the UK to the US on suspicion of defrauding elderly and lonely Americans out of over $2 million in a sickening lonely hearts scam.
The prosecution claims that Hajia 4 Reall specifically targeted elderly and single Americans who were living alone with their romance scam.
Prosecutors claim that between at least 2013 and 2019, Hajia 4Reall collaborated with a group of con artists from West Africa who used emails, texts, and social media posts to deceive people into believing they were in relationships with them.
