Be concerned about the source of your partner’s income – Nana Romeo on Hajia4Reall’s saga

Following Hajia4Reall’s one year, one day sentence in the United States for a romance scam and the reported involvement of her baby daddy, Latif, popularly known as 'Luvman Allison', radio presenter Nana Romeo has advised women to be concerned about the source of their partners' funds.

Expressing concern over Hajia4Reall’s tarnished reputation on UTV's United Showbiz hosted by MzGee, the broadcaster suggested that this situation could have been avoided if the socialite had conducted due diligence.

“The stigma will haunt her for the rest of her life,” said Nana Romeo. “Already, people say all manner of things even when you’re living your normal life; how much more when you’ve been caught and convicted? That is my worry. I’m worried about whether or not she can still be bubbly and live her life.”

He continued: “She mentioned her baby daddy as having introduced her to this. I want to advise women that if a man spends on you so much, be concerned about the source of his money. Some women are unperturbed about that; all they care about is you’ve given them money. But you should know the source of the money in order to be safe.

“Sometimes, just investigate because you may not be told about the source. Let this guide you; Hajia is out there, we don’t know about the baby daddy, so, don’t just be focused on the money. Be concerned about the source as well so you can save your life.”

Court details and reactions on Hajia4Reall's baby daddy's involvement in romance scam

Documents submitted to the court by Hajia4Reall's lawyers alleged that her ex-partner, Luvman Allison, used her account to receive funds from unknown individuals.

According to Hajia4Reall's lawyer, Elenor Fast, Luvman had been financially supporting himself through fraudulent activities while on probation after a previous arrest by the US government.

The document claimed that Luvman misled Hajia4Reall, also known as Mona Faiz Montrage, into believing they were in a genuine relationship, exploiting her trust to involve her in his financial schemes.

Mona's statements in the documents detailed how Luvman convinced her to allow funds to be deposited into her accounts and transfer them on his behalf, citing legal constraints on his own accounts due to probation restrictions.

Despite realizing the wrongful nature of these activities, Mona continued out of fear for her safety and that of her daughter.

"At a point in our relationship, he would ask me to allow him to receive some funds through my accounts and later ask me to withdraw it for him. Sometimes, he would ask me to transfer it to a business partner in Ghana on a few occasions.

"He told me that he could not use his bank account because he was on probation and had financial limitations placed on him by the courts. I gladly did this. I didn't doubt the source of these funds because I had come to trust and love him, and I felt that as his partner, it was the least I could do to support his business.

"Later, I also learned that he did the same with other people's accounts. Still, I continued to let him use my accounts because I was scared of what could happen to me and my daughter if I tried to leave the relationship or the scheme that he and I were involved in. I knew what I was doing was wrong and against my moral character. What I did was against the values that I came to America with and that I told myself I would live by," parts of her statement read.
