In other news, 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.
