Allegedly Mona Faiz Montrage well known as Mona 4Reall or Hajia4Reall and her gang of fraudsters
preyed on elderly victims, many of whom were widowed or divorced. They assumed fake names and
trolled dating sites like Match.com, ChistianMingle, JSwipe, and PlentyofFish, searching for targets.
Once they had ingratiated themselves with their victims, they allegedly concocted sob-stories about
why they needed money – i.e., taxes to release an inheritance, essential overseas travel, crippling debt,
etc. – and then siphoned money from victim’s accounts, tens of thousands of dollars at a time.
“Crimes like these are especially despicable because they rely not only on victims’ lack of internet
savvy, but also, their isolation, their loneliness, and sometimes their grief. As the victims open their
hearts, the perpetrators open their wallets.
Indictments are merely allegations of criminal conduct, not evidence. Defendants are presumed

Hajia 4Reall’s alleged romance scam and money laundering case is now being linked to all persons
within her social and business circles. In a new revelation by the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC),
all the people within the social and business circles of the arrested Ghanaian socialite are now persons
of interest. This was disclosed by the Deputy Manager of Ghana’s Financial Intelligence Centre,
Sean Osei, who spoke on Starr FM during an interview with Francis Abban. Speaking on Morning
Starr on Starr FM Thursday, the Deputy Manager at the FIC, Shaun Henry Osei added that his agency
is collaborating with INTERPOL and the FBI to investigate all persons found in Hajia4Reall’s circles.
In a report by Starr FM, the FIC is also asking the public to report suspicious wealth activities
to the relevant authorities because such undertakings are often linked to terrorist activities.
Hajia 4Reall’s arrest took place in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2022, and she was subsequently
extradited to the US on May 12, 2023. The prosecution alleges that Hajia’s romance scam
specifically targeted elderly and single Americans living alone. Appearing in federal court in Manhattan
on May 15, 2023, Hajia 4Reall faces charges related to her alleged involvement in multiple
romance scams, however, she has pleaded not guilty.

Fuse ODG has been violently
handcuffed and dragged out of his
car by some UK police in Brixton
who claimed they could smell ‘
cannabis’ from his car.
In the video going viral, the Grammy
award-winning artiste could be seen
resisting the violent act of the officers
but he was eventually overpowered.
Fuse ODG was in the car with a
business partner when the incident
occurred.
The Ghanaian-British artist is
describing the incident as racial
profiling by the UK law enforcers.
During the heated moment, Fuse
ODG could be heard screaming “are
you mad, do you have a warrant?”
Meanwhile, according to the
officers, they forcefully handcuffed
Fuse ODG at that moment to prevent
him from
harming himself.
“The reason is to prevent harm,” one
officer told Fuse ODG in the video
and he asked “harm to you?” he replied
“and to yourself as well ...
because you could grab the drugs
and swallow them”. The officers later
searched the car and found drugs,
hence, leaving the artiste and his
friends to go. The details of the event
were disclosed by Fuse ODG after he

Sources working for the Home Office subcontractor
Serco have described what they
believe is a culture of “institutional abuse”
at five Merseyside hotels, including the
Suites hotel in Knowsley, where violent
far-right protests took place in February.
Sources include current and former contractors
recruited to work in Home Office
hotels for Serco.
On one occasion, sources said that senior
Serco staff chased an asylum seeker diagnosed
with schizophrenia into his hotel
room, rattled the handle and shouted abuse
at him from behind the locked door. It is
understood that the managers were aware
of his condition.
A source said: “You’ve got someone with
paranoid schizophrenia being told: ‘If I see
you outside, you’d better run,’ then kicking
his door to intimidate him and laughing
about it when he got distressed.
“It’s verbally and psychologically very, very
aggressive behaviour. The power dynamics
are stacked against the service users.”
The source added that they were not aware
that any senior managers working at the
five hotels had received training in mental
health and trauma support, and claimed
that the provision of medication, including
for the man with schizophrenia, is not carefully
managed.

Man City win Premier League title after
Arsenal defeat to Nottingham Forest
Manchester City have been crowned Premier
League champions for the third successive
season after title rivals Arsenal lost at
Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners, top for the majority of the
campaign, are four points behind City with only
one game left to play after being beaten 1-0 on
Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won the title in five of
the past six campaigns.
They also have a chance to claim the Treble,
with the FA Cup and Champions League finals
to come next month.
Only Manchester United, in 1998-99, have
previously achieved that feat - and it is their
derby rivals whom City will meet at Wembley
on 3 June, before facing Inter Milan a week later
in Istanbul, where they will seek their first
Champions League triumph.
City, champions for a ninth time in the club’s
history, had trailed Arsenal by eight points on 7
April, although they had played one game fewer
than Mikel Arteta’s leaders at that point.
It is only the fourth time that a team has been as
many as eight points clear after at least 28
Premier League games and failed to win the
title.
Only one team has ever had 69 points with 10
games remaining - as Arsenal did - and failed
to win the title. That was Liverpool in 2018-19,
when they finished on 97 points, one behind
City.
